Most of mm/ adheres the 80-character limits. Please make your changes to
follow it as well.

You can revert the condition here and reduce the nesting:

			if (!userfaultfd_wp_async(vma)) {
				pte_unmap_unlock(vmf->pte, vmf->ptl);
				return handle_userfault(vmf, VM_UFFD_WP);
			}

			/* handle async WP */
