userfaultfd: introduce mfill_copy_folio_locked() helper

Browse Source 
Patch series "mm, kvm: allow uffd support in guest_memfd", v4.

These patches enable support for userfaultfd in guest_memfd.

As the groundwork I refactored userfaultfd handling of PTE-based memory
types (anonymous and shmem) and converted them to use vm_uffd_ops for
allocating a folio or getting an existing folio from the page cache. 
shmem also implements callbacks that add a folio to the page cache after
the data passed in UFFDIO_COPY was copied and remove the folio from the
page cache if page table update fails.

In order for guest_memfd to notify userspace about page faults, there are
new VM_FAULT_UFFD_MINOR and VM_FAULT_UFFD_MISSING that a ->fault() handler
can return to inform the page fault handler that it needs to call
handle_userfault() to complete the fault.

Nikita helped to plumb these new goodies into guest_memfd and provided
basic tests to verify that guest_memfd works with userfaultfd.  The
handling of UFFDIO_MISSING in guest_memfd requires ability to remove a
folio from page cache, the best way I could find was exporting
filemap_remove_folio() to KVM.

I deliberately left hugetlb out, at least for the most part.  hugetlb
handles acquisition of VMA and more importantly establishing of parent
page table entry differently than PTE-based memory types.  This is a
different abstraction level than what vm_uffd_ops provides and people
objected to exposing such low level APIs as a part of VMA operations.

Also, to enable uffd in guest_memfd refactoring of hugetlb is not needed
and I prefer to delay it until the dust settles after the changes in this
set.


This patch (of 4):

Split copying of data when locks held from mfill_atomic_pte_copy() into a
helper function mfill_copy_folio_locked().

This makes improves code readability and makes complex
mfill_atomic_pte_copy() function easier to comprehend.

No functional change.
