mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork() for ptes
This allows copy_pte_range() to do early cow if the pages were pinned on the source mm. Currently we don't have an accurate way to know whether a page is pinned or not. The only thing we have is page_maybe_dma_pinned(). However that's good enough for now. Especially, with the newly added mm->has_pinned flag to make sure we won't affect processes that never pinned any pages. It would be easier if we can do GFP_KERNEL allocation within copy_one_pte(). Unluckily, we can't because we're with the page table locks held for both the parent and child processes. So the page allocation needs to be done outside copy_one_pte(). Some trick is there in copy_present_pte(), majorly the wrprotect trick to block concurrent fast-gup. Comments in the function should explain better in place. Oleg Nesterov reported a (probably harmless) bug during review that we didn't reset entry.val properly in copy_pte_range() so that potentially there's chance to call add_swap_count_continuation() multiple times on the same swp entry. However that should be harmless since even if it happens, the same function (add_swap_count_continuation()) will return directly noticing that there're enough space for the swp counter. So instead of a standalone stable patch, it is touched up in this patch directly.

+ * so we'll copy the pinned page here, or we'll fail
