This patch fixes an issue that a hugetlb uffd-wr-protected mapping can be
writable even with uffd-wp bit set. It only happens with hugetlb private
mappings, when someone firstly wr-protects a missing pte (which will
install a pte marker), then a write to the same page without any prior
access to the page.
Userfaultfd-wp trap for hugetlb was implemented in hugetlb_fault() before
reaching hugetlb_wp() to avoid taking more locks that userfault won't need.
However there's one CoW optimization path that can trigger hugetlb_wp()
inside hugetlb_no_page(), which will bypass the trap.
This patch skips hugetlb_wp() for CoW and retries the fault if uffd-wp bit
is detected. The new path will only trigger in the CoW optimization path
because generic hugetlb_fault() (e.g. when a present pte was wr-protected)
will resolve the uffd-wp bit already. Also make sure anonymous UNSHARE
won't be affected and can still be resolved, IOW only skip CoW not CoR.
This patch will be needed for v5.19+ hence copy stable.

Notes:
v2 is not on the list but in an attachment in the reply; this v3 is mostly
to make sure it's not the same as the patch used to be attached. Sorry
Andrew, we need to drop the queued one as I rewrote the commit message.
Muhammad, I didn't attach your T-b because of the slight functional change.
Please feel free to re-attach if it still works for you (which I believe
should).
thanks,
