The urgent fixes made hugetlb_fault() tolerate uffd bits left in VMAs
that are no longer registered for them, and asked for follow-ups that
remove the sources [1]. This is one: a hugetlb UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP copy
that has to fault in its source page doesn't recheck the WP registration
before retrying, so re-registering the range without WP in that window
leaves a uffd-wp PTE behind.

Patch 1 adds the check the non-hugetlb retry already gets from
mfill_get_vma(). Patch 2 adds a uffd-unit-tests case for it, which fails
on hugetlb without patch 1.

Question:

- The non-hugetlb retry compares the whole mfill_retry_state. hugetlb
  copies into a freshly allocated folio, so only WP seemed to matter
  there. Mike, would you rather have the full comparison on both paths?

The other source 6/10 of [1] mentions, UFFDIO_COPY in MODE_WP racing
with UFFDIO_UNREGISTER [2], is closed by "mm/userfaultfd: write-lock the
VMA before waking waiters when unregistering" [3].

Based on mm-unstable.

Tested on x86_64 in QEMU.

mfill_atomic_hugetlb() drops its locks to copy the source page with page
faults enabled and then looks the VMA up again. The retry doesn't check
that the VMA is still registered for WP, so if the range is re-registered
without WP in that window, a UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP copy installs a uffd-wp
PTE in a VMA without VM_UFFD_WP. That is one of the leftover uffd bits
hugetlb_fault() has to tolerate.

The non-hugetlb retry goes through mfill_get_vma() again and fails with
-EINVAL. Do the same check in the hugetlb retry.

Re-register the destination without WP while a UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP copy
waits for its source page, then check that the copy fails with -EINVAL
and leaves no uffd-wp bit behind. This covers both the hugetlb and the
non-hugetlb UFFDIO_COPY retry.
