Subject: userfaultfd: write protect when virtual memory range has no page table entry
userfaultfd_writeprotect() use change_protection() to clear write bit in
page table entries (pte/pmd). So, later write to this virtual address
range causes a page fault, which is then handled by userspace program.
However, change_protection() has no effect when there is no page table
entries associated with that virtual memory range (a newly mapped memory
range). As a result, later access to that memory range causes allocating
a page table entry with write bit still set (due to VM_WRITE flag in
vma->vm_flags).
Add checks for VM_UFFD_WP in vma->vm_flags when allocating new page table
entry in missing page table entry page fault path.
