Subject: [PATCH 1/1] arch/mm/fault: fix major fault accounting when retrying
 under per-VMA lock

A test [1] in Android test suite started failing after [2] was merged.
It turns out that after handling a major fault under per-VMA lock, the
process major fault counter does not register that fault as major.
Before [2] read faults would be done under mmap_lock, in which case
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag is set before retrying. That in turn causes
mm_account_fault() to account the fault as major once retry completes.
With per-VMA locks we often retry because a fault can't be handled
without locking the whole mm using mmap_lock. Therefore such retries
do not set FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag. This logic does not work after [2]
because we can now handle read major faults under per-VMA lock and
upon retry the fact there was a major fault gets lost. Fix this by
setting FAULT_FLAG_TRIED after retrying under per-VMA lock if
VM_FAULT_MAJOR was returned. Ideally we would use an additional
VM_FAULT bit to indicate the reason for the retry (could not handle
under per-VMA lock vs other reason) but this simpler solution seems
to work, so keeping it simple.
