In preparation for using insert_page() for DAX, enhance
insert_page_into_pte_locked() to handle establishing writable
mappings.  Recall that DAX returns VM_FAULT_NOPAGE after installing a
PTE which bypasses the typical set_pte_range() in finish_fault.

Just drop "entry" and reuse "pteval"; even saves you from one bug below :)

pte_t pteval = ptep_get(pte);

-	if (!pte_none(ptep_get(pte)))
-		return -EBUSY;
+	if (!pte_none(entry)) {
+		if (!mkwrite)
+			return -EBUSY;
+
+		/* see insert_pfn(). */
+		if (pte_pfn(entry) != page_to_pfn(page)) {
+			WARN_ON_ONCE(!is_zero_pfn(pte_pfn(entry)));
+			return -EFAULT;
+		}
+		entry = maybe_mkwrite(entry, vma);
+		entry = pte_mkyoung(entry);
+		if (ptep_set_access_flags(vma, addr, pte, entry, 1))
+			update_mmu_cache(vma, addr, pte);
+		return 0;
+	}
+
  	/* Ok, finally just insert the thing.. */
  	pteval = mk_pte(page, prot);
  	if (unlikely(is_zero_folio(folio))) {
  		pteval = pte_mkspecial(pteval);
  	} else {
  		folio_get(folio);
+		entry = mk_pte(page, prot);

we already do "pteval = mk_pte(page, prot);" above?

And I think your change here does not do what you want, because you
modify the new "entry" but we do

	set_pte_at(vma->vm_mm, addr, pte, pteval);

below ...

+		if (mkwrite) {
+			entry = pte_mkyoung(entry);
+			entry = maybe_mkwrite(pte_mkdirty(entry), vma);
+		}

So again, better just reuse pteval :)
