Subject: [PATCH v1 4/7] mm/ksm: fix KSM COW breaking with userfaultfd-wp via FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE
Let's stop breaking COW via a fake write fault and let's use
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE instead. This avoids any wrong side effects of the fake
write fault, such as mapping the PTE writable and marking the pte
dirty/softdirty.
Also, this fixes KSM interaction with userfaultfd-wp: when we have a KSM
page that's write-protected by userfaultfd, break_ksm()->handle_mm_fault()
will fail with VM_FAULT_SIGBUS and will simpy return in break_ksm() with 0.
The warning in dmesg indicates this wrong handling:

Consequently, we will no longer trigger a fake write fault and break COW
without any such side-effects.
This is primarily a fix for KSM+userfaultfd-wp, however, the fake write
fault was always questionable. As this fix is not easy to backport and it's
not very critical, let's not cc stable.
