Subject: mm/memory: fix missing pte marker for !page on pte zaps
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 17:31:07 -0400

Commit 0cf18e839f64 of large folio zap work broke uffd-wp.  Now mm's uffd
unit test "wp-unpopulated" will trigger this WARN_ON_ONCE().

The WARN_ON_ONCE() asserts that an VMA cannot be registered with
userfaultfd-wp if it contains a !normal page, but it's actually possible. 
One example is an anonymous vma, register with uffd-wp, read anything will
install a zero page.  Then when zap on it, this should trigger.

What's more, removing that WARN_ON_ONCE may not be enough either, because
we should also not rely on "whether it's a normal page" to decide whether
pte marker is needed.  For example, one can register wr-protect over some
DAX regions to track writes when UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC enabled, in which
case it can have page==NULL for a devmap but we may want to keep the
marker around.
