s390x must disable shared zeropages for processes running VMs, because

Yet, with userfaultfd it is possible to insert shared zeropages into
such processes. Let's fallback to simply allocating a fresh zeroed
anonymous folio and insert that instead.
mm_forbids_zeropage() was introduced in commit 593befa6ab74 ("mm: introduce
mm_forbids_zeropage function"), briefly before userfaultfd went
upstream.
Note that we don't want to fail the UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE request like we do
for hugetlb, it would be rather unexpected. Further, we also
cannot really indicated "not supported" to user space ahead of time: it
could be that the MM disallows zeropages after userfaultfd was already
registered.

This comment doesn't apply. We can drop it.
I thought the same until I spotted that comment (where uffd originally
copied this from I strongly assume) in do_anonymous_page().
"Preceding stores" here are: zeroing out the memory.
Thanks for the fast review!
