When handling faults for anon shmem finish_fault() will attempt to install
ptes for the entire folio. Unfortunately if it encounters a single
non-pte_none entry in that range it will bail, even if the pte that
triggered the fault is still pte_none. When this situation happens the
fault will be retried endlessly never making forward progress.
This patch fixes this behavior and if it detects that a pte in the range
is not pte_none it will fall back to setting a single pte.
