This one has a bug see below.

This is wrong if ret == 0 you still need to remap the pte before
continuing as otherwise you will go to next pte without the page
table lock for the directory. So 0 case must be handled after
arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() below.

Sorry i should have catch that in previous review.

Just a nit pick can you please add () to next - addr ie:
if ((next - addr) != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE || uffd_wp_resolve) {

I know it is not needed but each time i bump into this i
have to scratch my head for second to remember the operator
rules :)
