userfaultfd: non-cooperative: userfaultfd_remove revalidate vma in MADV_DONTNEED
userfaultfd_remove() has to be execute before zapping the pagetables or UFFDIO_COPY could keep filling pages after zap_page_range returned, which would result in non zero data after a MADV_DONTNEED. However userfaultfd_remove() may have to release the mmap_sem. This was handled correctly in MADV_REMOVE, but MADV_DONTNEED accessed a potentially stale vma (the very vma passed to zap_page_range(vma, ...)). The fix consists in revalidating the vma in case userfaultfd_remove() had to release the mmap_sem. This also optimizes away an unnecessary down_read/up_read in the MADV_REMOVE case if UFFD_EVENT_FORK had to be delivered. It all remains zero runtime cost in case CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=n as userfaultfd_remove() will be defined as "true" at build time.
