fs/proc/task_mmu: fix loss of young/dirty bits during pagemap scan

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2070349

commit c70dce4982ce1718bf978a35f8e26160b82081f4 upstream.

make_uffd_wp_pte() was previously doing:

  pte = ptep_get(ptep);
  ptep_modify_prot_start(ptep);
  pte = pte_mkuffd_wp(pte);
  ptep_modify_prot_commit(ptep, pte);

But if another thread accessed or dirtied the pte between the first 2
calls, this could lead to loss of that information.  Since
ptep_modify_prot_start() gets and clears atomically, the following is the
correct pattern and prevents any possible race.  Any access after the
first call would see an invalid pte and cause a fault:

  pte = ptep_modify_prot_start(ptep);
  pte = pte_mkuffd_wp(pte);
  ptep_modify_prot_commit(ptep, pte);
