mm: avoid data corruption on CoW fault into PFN-mapped VMA 

[ Upstream commit c3e5ea6ee5 ]

Jeff Moyer has reported that one of xfstests triggers a warning when run
on DAX-enabled filesystem:

	WARNING: CPU: 76 PID: 51024 at mm/memory.c:2317 wp_page_copy+0xc40/0xd50
	...
	wp_page_copy+0x98c/0xd50 (unreliable)
	do_wp_page+0xd8/0xad0
	__handle_mm_fault+0x748/0x1b90
	handle_mm_fault+0x120/0x1f0
	__do_page_fault+0x240/0xd70
	do_page_fault+0x38/0xd0
	handle_page_fault+0x10/0x30

The warning happens on failed __copy_from_user_inatomic() which tries to
copy data into a CoW page.

This happens because of race between MADV_DONTNEED and CoW page fault:

	CPU0					CPU1
 handle_mm_fault()
   do_wp_page()
     wp_page_copy()
       do_wp_page()
					madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
					  zap_page_range()
					    zap_pte_range()
					      ptep_get_and_clear_full()
					      <TLB flush>
	 __copy_from_user_inatomic()
	 sees empty PTE and fails
	 WARN_ON_ONCE(1)
	 clear_page()

The solution is to re-try __copy_from_user_inatomic() under PTL after
checking that PTE is matches the orig_pte.

The second copy attempt can still fail, like due to non-readable PTE, but
there's nothing reasonable we can do about, except clearing the CoW page.
