[PATCH v1] vfio/pci: pass FAULT_FLAG_WRITE to vmf_insert_pfn_pmd/pud()

[Mina Almasry]

vfio_pci_vmf_insert_pfn() unconditionally passes write=false to
vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud().

In insert_pmd() and insert_pud(), write=false skips marking newly
inserted PMD/PUD entries dirty/young via pmd_mkyoung(pmd_mkdirty()) and
maybe_pmd_mkwrite(). Furthermore, when vma_wants_writenotify() is active
on a shared writable VMA (for example, after CLEAR_REFS_SOFT_DIRTY
clears VM_SOFTDIRTY and calls vma_set_page_prot()), vm_page_prot is
downgraded to read-only so insert_pmd()/insert_pud() with write=false
installs a write-protected huge PMD/PUD. Subsequent write faults enter
wp_huge_pmd() or wp_huge_pud(), which invoke vma->vm_ops->huge_fault()
to upgrade the entry in place. Because vfio_pci_vmf_insert_pfn() passes
write=false, insert_pmd() and insert_pud() see !pmd_none(*pmd) with
!write, do nothing, and return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE without setting the write
bit or splitting the huge page, causing an infinite write page-fault
loop.

Pass vmf->flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE to vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() and
vmf_insert_pfn_pud() so write faults properly mark huge PFNMAP entries
dirty and writable.
