There's no real guarantee that handle_mm_fault() will always be able to
break a COW situation - if an update from another thread ends up
modifying the page table some way, handle_mm_fault() may end up
requiring us to re-try the operation.
That's normally fine, but get_user_pages() ended up re-trying it as a
read, and thus a write access could in theory end up losing the dirty
bit or be done on a page that had not been properly COW'ed.
This makes get_user_pages() always retry write accesses as write
accesses by making "follow_page()" require that a writable follow has
the dirty bit set. That simplifies the code and solves the race: if the
COW break fails for some reason, we'll just loop around and try again.
