For these two places: I know that thp collapse with mmap read lock hasn't
yet spread to anon (so I assume none of above could trigger yet on the
failure paths), but shall we constantly return -EAGAIN here just in case we
forget that in the future?

For example, for UFFDIO_COPY over shmem which we can already hit similar
case, mfill_atomic_install_pte() has:

	ret = -EAGAIN;
	dst_pte = pte_offset_map_lock(dst_mm, dst_pmd, dst_addr, &ptl);
	if (!dst_pte)
		goto out;
