Sorry, missed it the first time. In case of holes, there isn't any pmd or
pte. But we need to place the PTE markers indicating that this memory is
WPed. So we can parse the address range from PGD ourselves and place the
markers. Or we can use the uffd_wp_range(). Using uffd_wp_range() for this
case seems optimal. We don't need to do flush as uffd_wp_range() flushes
the range by itself.

Okay. It seems reasonable. I'll add the following at the start of the loop:

	if (fatal_signal_pending(current))
		return -EINTR;
