[PATCH RFC 01/17] userfaultfd: introduce mfill_copy_folio_locked() helper

[Mike Rapoport]

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@xxxxxxxxxx>

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.
