mm: extend FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE support to anything in a COW mapping
Extend FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE to break COW on anything mapped into a
COW (i.e., private writable) mapping and adjust the documentation
accordingly.
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE will now also break COW when encountering the shared
zeropage, a pagecache page, a PFNMAP, ... inside a COW mapping, by
properly replacing the mapped page/pfn by a private copy (an exclusive
anonymous page).
Note that only do_wp_page() needs care: hugetlb_wp() already handles
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE correctly. wp_huge_pmd()/wp_huge_pud() also handles it
correctly, for example, splitting the huge zeropage on FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE
such that we can handle FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE on the PTE level.
This change is a requirement for reliable long-term R/O pinning in
COW mappings.
