Subject: [PATCH 0/5] mm: A few cleanup patches around zap, shmem and uffd

[Based on tag v5.14, but it should still apply to -mm too.  If not, I can
 repost anytime]

I picked up these patches from uffd-wp v5 series here:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210715201422.211004-1-peterx@redhat.com/

IMHO all of them are very nice cleanups to existing code already, they're all
small and self-contained.  They'll be needed by uffd-wp coming series.  I would
appreciate if they can be accepted earlier, so as to not carry them over always
with the uffd-wp series.

I removed some CC from the uffd-wp v5 series to reduce the noise, and added a
few more into it.

Reviews are greatly welcomed, thanks.

  mm: Clear vmf->pte after pte_unmap_same() returns
  mm: Drop first_index/last_index in zap_details

  mm: Introduce ZAP_FLAG_SKIP_SWAP
