mm/userfaultfd: add RWP fault delivery and expose UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP
Wire the fault side of read-write protection tracking and turn the
userspace interface on.
An RWP-protected PTE is PAGE_NONE with the uffd bit set. The PROT_NONE
triggers a fault on any access; the uffd bit distinguishes it from plain
mprotect(PROT_NONE) or NUMA hinting.
Fault dispatch, per level:
PTE handle_pte_fault() -> do_uffd_rwp()
PMD __handle_mm_fault() -> do_huge_pmd_uffd_rwp()
hugetlb hugetlb_fault() -> hugetlb_handle_userfault()
The RWP branches gate on userfaultfd_pte_rwp() /
userfaultfd_huge_pmd_rwp() (VM_UFFD_RWP plus the uffd bit) and fall
through to do_numa_page() / do_huge_pmd_numa_page() otherwise. Each
delivers a UFFD_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_RWP message through handle_userfault(); the
handler resolves it with UFFDIO_RWPROTECT clearing MODE_RWP.
userfaultfd_must_wait() and userfaultfd_huge_must_wait() add matching
protnone+uffd waiters so sync-mode fault handlers block correctly.
Expose the UAPI:
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP -> UFFD_API_REGISTER_MODES
UFFD_FEATURE_RWP -> UFFD_API_FEATURES
_UFFDIO_RWPROTECT -> UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS
UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS_BASIC
UFFD_FEATURE_RWP is masked out at UFFDIO_API time when PROT_NONE is not
available or VM_UFFD_RWP aliases VM_NONE (32-bit), so userspace never sees
an advertised-but-broken feature.
Works on anonymous, shmem, and hugetlb memory.
