mm: userfaultfd: add UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP to install WP PTEs
UFFDIO_COPY already has UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP, so when installing a new PTE to resolve a missing fault, one can install a write-protected one. This is useful when using UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_{MISSING,WP} in combination. This was motivated by testing HugeTLB HGM [1], and in particular its interaction with userfaultfd features. Existing userfaultfd code supports using WP and MINOR modes together (i.e. you can register an area with both enabled), but without this CONTINUE flag the combination is in practice unusable. So, add an analogous UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP, which does the same thing as UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP, but for *minor* faults. Update the selftest to do some very basic exercising of the new flag. Update Documentation/ to describe how these flags are used (neither the COPY nor the new CONTINUE versions of this mode flag were described there before).
