userfaultfd: wp: hook userfault handler to write protection fault

There are several cases write protection fault happens.  It could be a
write to zero page, swaped page or userfault write protected page.  When
the fault happens, there is no way to know if userfault write protect the
page before.  Here we just blindly issue a userfault notification for vma
with VM_UFFD_WP regardless if app write protects it yet.  Application
should be ready to handle such wp fault.

In the swapin case, always swapin as readonly.  This will cause false
positive userfaults.  We need to decide later if to eliminate them with a
flag like soft-dirty in the swap entry (see _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY).

hugetlbfs wouldn't need to worry about swapouts but and tmpfs would be
handled by a swap entry bit like anonymous memory.

The main problem with no easy solution to eliminate the false positives,
will be if/when userfaultfd is extended to real filesystem pagecache.
When the pagecache is freed by reclaim we can't leave the radix tree
pinned if the inode and in turn the radix tree is reclaimed as well.

The estimation is that full accuracy and lack of false positives could be
easily provided only to anonymous memory (as long as there's no fork or as
long as MADV_DONTFORK is used on the userfaultfd anonymous range) tmpfs
and hugetlbfs, it's most certainly worth to achieve it but in a later
incremental patch.
