Coverage for UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP and UFFDIO_RWPROTECT:

  rwp-async          async mode — touch pages, verify permissions are
                     auto-restored without a message
  rwp-sync           sync mode — access blocks, handler resolves via
                     UFFDIO_RWPROTECT
  rwp-pagemap        PAGEMAP_SCAN reports still-cold pages via
                     inverted PAGE_IS_ACCESSED
  rwp-mprotect       RWP survives mprotect(PROT_NONE) -&gt;
                     mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) round-trip
  rwp-gup            GUP walks through a protnone RWP PTE (pipe
                     write/read drives the GUP path)
  rwp-async-toggle   UFFDIO_SET_MODE flips between sync and async
                     without re-registering
  rwp-close          closing the uffd restores page permissions
  rwp-fork           RWP survives fork() with EVENT_FORK; child's
                     PTEs keep the uffd bit
  rwp-fork-pin       RWP survives fork() on an RO-longterm-pinned
                     anon page (forces copy_present_page()); child
                     read auto-resolves and clears the bit, proving
                     PAGE_NONE was in place
  rwp-wp-exclusive   register with MODE_WP|MODE_RWP returns -EINVAL

All tests run against anon, shmem, shmem-private, hugetlb, and
hugetlb-private memory, except rwp-fork-pin which is anon-only —
copy_present_page() is the private-anon pinned-exclusive fork path.

Snapshot the RWP additions into tools/include/uapi/linux/userfaultfd.h so
the selftest builds without requiring "make headers" first, matching the
mechanism established by commit 580ea358af0a ("selftests/mm: fix
additional build errors for selftests").

These build errors only occur if one fails to first run "make headers". 
However, that is a non-obvious and instrusive requirement, and so there
was a discussion on how to get rid of it [1].  This uses that solution.

These two files were created by taking a snapshot of the generated header
files that are created via "make headers".  These two files were copied
from ./usr/include/linux/ to ./tools/include/uapi/linux/ .

That fixes the selftests/mm build on today's Arch Linux (which required
the userfaultfd.h) and Ubuntu 23.04 (which additionally required memfd.h).
