Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix double page fault on arm64 if PTE_AF is cleared

When we tested pmdk unit test [1] vmmalloc_fork TEST1 in arm64 guest, there
will be a double page fault in __copy_from_user_inatomic of cow_user_page.

Below call trace is from arm64 do_page_fault for debugging purpose
[  110.016195] Call trace:
[  110.016826]  do_page_fault+0x5a4/0x690

[  110.023584]  do_page_fault+0x240/0x690
[  110.024535]  do_mem_abort+0x50/0xb0
[  110.025423]  el0_da+0x20/0x24

The pte info before __copy_from_user_inatomic is(PTE_AF is cleared):
[ffff9b007000] pgd=000000023d4f8003, pud=000000023da9b003, pmd=000000023d4b3003, pte=360000298607bd3

The keypoint is: we don't always have a hardware-managed access flag on
arm64.

The root cause is in copy_one_pte, it will clear the PTE_AF for COW
pages. Generally, when it is accessed by user, the COW pages will be set
as accessed(PTE_AF bit on arm64) by hardware if hardware feature is
supported. But on some arm64 platforms, the PTE_AF needs to be set by
software.

This patch fix it by calling pte_mkyoung. Also, the parameter is
changed because vmf should be passed to cow_user_page()
