Uh, ok, that wouldn't work on s390, but we also don't have
CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP / HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP set, so
I guess we will be fine (for now).
Still, I find it a bit unsettling that pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed()
would work on a potential hugetlb *pte, directly de-referencing it
instead of using huge_ptep_get().
The !pte_none(*pte) check at the beginning would be broken in the
hugetlb case for s390 (not sure about other archs, but I think s390
might be the only exception strictly requiring huge_ptep_get()
for de-referencing hugetlb *pte pointers).

Ok, that should work fine, huge_ptep_clear_flush() will return
a pteval properly de-referenced and converted with huge_ptep_get(),
and that would contain the hugetlb pmd/pud dirty information.
