Yeah, you'll need to change the PTEs for those pages you created by
calling get_user_page() by calling an mprotect like function; perhaps
something like:
struct vm_area_struct *prev;
unsigned long vm_flags = vma->vm_flags;
s/vma->vm_flags/vm_flags/g
err = mprotect_fixup(vma, &prev, vma->vm_start, vma->vm_end, vm_flags);
BUG_ON(prev != vma);
mprotect_fixup will then set the new protection on all PTEs and update
vma->vm_flags and vma->vm_page_prot.

What exactly are you wondering about? the call to move_vma looks sane to
me
