userfaultfd: correctly prevent registering VM_DROPPABLE regions
Patch series "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups", v3. Two fixes and two cleanups for userfaultfd. Note that the third patch yields a small change in the ABI, but we seem to have concluded that it is acceptable in this case. This patch (of 4): vma_can_userfault() masks off non-userfaultfd VM flags from vm_flags. The vm_flags & VM_DROPPABLE test will then always be false, incorrectly allowing VM_DROPPABLE regions to be registered with userfaultfd. Additionally, vm_flags is not guaranteed to correspond to the actual VMA's flags. Fix this test by checking the VMA's flags directly.
