Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork() for ptes

It allows copy_pte_range() to do early cow if the pages were pinned on the
source mm.  Currently we don't have an accurate way to know whether a page is
pinned or not.  The only thing we have is page_maybe_dma_pinned().  However
that's good enough for now.  Especially, with the newly added mm->has_pinned
flag to make sure we won't affect processes that never pinned any pages.

It would be easier if we can do GFP_KERNEL allocation within copy_one_pte().
Unluckily, we can't because we're with the page table locks held for both the
parent and child processes.  So the page allocation needs to be done outside
copy_one_pte().

Some trick is there in copy_present_pte(), majorly the wrprotect trick to block
concurrent fast-gup.  Comments in the function should explain better in place.

Oleg Nesterov reported a (probably harmless) bug during review that we didn't
reset entry.val properly in copy_pte_range() so that potentially there's chance
to call add_swap_count_continuation() multiple times on the same swp entry.
However that should be harmless since even if it happens, the same function
(add_swap_count_continuation()) will return directly noticing that there're
enough space for the swp counter.  So instead of a standalone stable patch, it
is touched up in this patch directly.
