Sorry for the delay in reviewing.

huge_pmd_share() will do a find_vma() to get the vma.  So, it would be
'possible' to not add an extra argument to huge_pmd_alloc() and simply
do the uffd_disable_huge_pmd_share() check inside vma_shareable.  This
would reduce the amount of modified code, but would not be as efficient.
I prefer passing the vma argument as is done here.
