mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork() for ptes

This allows copy_pte_range() to do early cow if the pages were pinned on
the source mm.

Currently we don't have an accurate way to know whether a page is pinned
or not.  The only thing we have is page_maybe_dma_pinned().  However
that's good enough for now.  Especially, with the newly added
mm->has_pinned flag to make sure we won't affect processes that never
pinned any pages.

It would be easier if we can do GFP_KERNEL allocation within
copy_one_pte().  Unluckily, we can't because we're with the page table
locks held for both the parent and child processes.  So the page
allocation needs to be done outside copy_one_pte().

Some trick is there in copy_present_pte(), majorly the wrprotect trick
to block concurrent fast-gup.  Comments in the function should explain
better in place.

Oleg Nesterov reported a (probably harmless) bug during review that we
didn't reset entry.val properly in copy_pte_range() so that potentially
there's chance to call add_swap_count_continuation() multiple times on
the same swp entry.  However that should be harmless since even if it
happens, the same function (add_swap_count_continuation()) will return
directly noticing that there're enough space for the swp counter.  So
instead of a standalone stable patch, it is touched up in this patch
directly.
