Subject: [PATCH] mm/userfaultfd: Allow hugetlb change protection upon poison entry

From: Peter Xu <peterx@...hat.com>

After UFFDIO_POISON, there can be two kinds of hugetlb pte markers, either
the POISON one or UFFD_WP one.

Allow change protection to run on a poisoned marker just like !hugetlb
cases, ignoring the marker irrelevant of the permission.

Here the two bits are mutual exclusive. For example, when install a
poisoned entry it must not be UFFD_WP already (by checking pte_none()
before such install).  And it also means if UFFD_WP is set there must have
no POISON bit set.  It makes sense because UFFD_WP is a bit to reflect
permission, and permissions do not apply if the pte is poisoned and
destined to sigbus.

So here we simply check uffd_wp bit set first, do nothing otherwise.

Attach the Fixes to UFFDIO_POISON work, as before that it should not be
possible to have poison entry for hugetlb (e.g., hugetlb doesn't do swap,
so no chance of swapin errors).
