It's worth nothing that this now allows for PTEs to be writable even if
the source PMD was not writable: if vma->vm_page_prot includes write
permissions.
As documented in commit 931298e103c2 ("mm/userfaultfd: rely on
vma->vm_page_prot in uffd_wp_range()"), any mechanism that intends to
have pages wrprotected (COW, writenotify, mprotect, uffd-wp, softdirty,
...) has to properly adjust vma->vm_page_prot upfront, to not include
write permissions. If vma->vm_page_prot includes write permissions, the
PTE/PMD can be writable as default.
This now mimics the handling in mm/migrate.c:remove_migration_pte() and in
mm/huge_memory.c:remove_migration_pmd(), which has been in place for a
long time (except that 96a9c287e25d ("mm/migrate: fix wrongly apply write
bit after mkdirty on sparc64") temporarily changed it).

Ignore this one, it's a duplicate of 6/6 and I forgot to delete that
patch before triggering git send-email ...
