Subject: [PATCH v1] mm/mremap: fix WARN with uffd that has remap events disabled
Registering userfaultd on a VMA that spans at least one PMD and then
mremap()'ing that VMA can trigger a WARN when recovering from a failed
page table move due to a page table allocation error.
The code ends up doing the right thing (recurse, avoiding moving actual
page tables), but triggering that WARN is unpleasant:

</TASK>
The underlying issue is that we recurse during the original page table
move, but not during the recovery move.
Fix it by checking for both VMAs and performing the check before the
pmd_none() sanity check.
Add a new helper where we perform+document that check for the PMD and
PUD level.
Thanks to Harry for bisecting.

Once this is queued, I'll send a patch to perform a
userfaultfd_wp() check, to skip any uffd VMAs that don't mess with uffd-wp.
