mm/shmem: allow uffd wr-protect none pte for file-backed mem

File-backed memory differs from anonymous memory in that even if the pte
is missing, the data could still resides either in the file or in
page/swap cache.  So when wr-protect a pte, we need to consider none ptes
too.

We do that by installing the uffd-wp pte markers when necessary.  So when
there's a future write to the pte, the fault handler will go the special
path to first fault-in the page as read-only, then report to userfaultfd
server with the wr-protect message.

On the other hand, when unprotecting a page, it's also possible that the
pte got unmapped but replaced by the special uffd-wp marker.  Then we'll
need to be able to recover from a uffd-wp pte marker into a none pte, so
that the next access to the page will fault in correctly as usual when
accessed the next time.

Special care needs to be taken throughout the change_protection_range()
process.  Since now we allow user to wr-protect a none pte, we need to be
able to pre-populate the page table entries if we see (!anonymous &&
MM_CP_UFFD_WP) requests, otherwise change_protection_range() will always
skip when the pgtable entry does not exist.

For example, the pgtable can be missing for a whole chunk of 2M pmd, but
the page cache can exist for the 2M range.  When we want to wr-protect one
4K page within the 2M pmd range, we need to pre-populate the pgtable and
install the pte marker showing that we want to get a message and block the
thread when the page cache of that 4K page is written.  Without
pre-populating the pmd, change_protection() will simply skip that whole
pmd.

Note that this patch only covers the small pages (pte level) but not
covering any of the transparent huge pages yet.  That will be done later,
and this patch will be a preparation for it too.
