Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] mm/userfaultfd: Support WP on multiple VMAs

mwriteprotect_range() errors out if [start, end) doesn't fall in one
VMA. We are facing a use case where multiple VMAs are present in one
range of interest. For example, the following pseudocode reproduces the
error which we are trying to fix:
- Allocate memory of size 16 pages with PROT_NONE with mmap
- Register userfaultfd
- Change protection of the first half (1 to 8 pages) of memory to
  PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE. This breaks the memory area in two VMAs.
- Now UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_WP on the whole memory of 16 pages errors
  out.

This is a simple use case where user may or may not know if the memory
area has been divided into multiple VMAs.

We need an implementation which doesn't disrupt the already present
users. So keeping things simple, stop going over all the VMAs if any one
of the VMA hasn't been registered in WP mode. While at it, remove the
un-needed error check as well.
