[PATCH v7 10/23] mm/shmem: Handle uffd-wp during fork()

[Peter Xu]

Normally we skip copy page when fork() for VM_SHARED shmem, but we can't skip
it anymore if uffd-wp is enabled on dst vma.  This should only happen when the
src uffd has UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK enabled on uffd-wp shmem vma, so that
VM_UFFD_WP will be propagated onto dst vma too, then we should copy the
pgtables with uffd-wp bit and pte markers, because these information will be
lost otherwise.

Since the condition checks will become even more complicated for deciding
"whether a vma needs to copy the pgtable during fork()", introduce a helper
vma_needs_copy() for it, so everything will be clearer.
