[PATCH 1/2] mm: bring in additional flag for fixup_user_fault to signal unlock

[Dominik Dingel]

With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault to
pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the faulting we
ever unlocked mmap_sem.

This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up
the current documentation.  fixup_user_fault was not having the same
semantics as filemap_fault.  It never indicated if a retry happened and so
a caller wasn't able to handle that case.  So we now changed the behaviour
to always retry a locked mmap_sem.
