Subject: [PATCH v5 5/7] mm: shmem: fix missing cache flush in shmem_mfill_atomic_pte()

The userfaultfd calls shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() which does not do any
cache flushing for the target page.  Then the target page will be mapped
to the user space with a different address (user address), which might
have an alias issue with the kernel address used to copy the data from the
user to.  Insert flush_dcache_page() in non-zero-page case.  And replace
clear_highpage() with clear_user_highpage() which already considers
the cache maintenance.

Fixes: 8d1039634206 ("userfaultfd: shmem: add shmem_mfill_zeropage_pte for userfaultfd support")
Fixes: 4c27fe4c4c84 ("userfaultfd: shmem: add shmem_mcopy_atomic_pte for userfaultfd support")
