[PATCH] mm/hmm: bypass devmap pte when all pfn requested flags are fulfilled

[Li Zhijian]

Previously, we noticed the one rpma example was failed[1] since 36f30e486d,
where it will use ODP feature to do RDMA WRITE between fsdax files.

After digging into the code, we found hmm_vma_handle_pte() will still
return EFAULT even though all the its requesting flags has been
fulfilled. That's because a DAX page will be marked as
(_PAGE_SPECIAL | PAGE_DEVMAP) by pte_mkdevmap().
