mm/hugetlb: don't map folios writable without VM_WRITE when copying during fork()
If we have to trigger a hugetlb folio copy during fork() because the anon folio might be pinned, we currently unconditionally create a writable PTE. However, the VMA might not have write permissions (VM_WRITE) at that point. Fix it by checking the VMA for VM_WRITE. Make the code less error prone by moving checking for VM_WRITE into make_huge_pte(), and letting callers only specify whether we should try making it writable. A simple reproducer that longterm-pins the folios using liburing to then mprotect(PROT_READ) the folios befor fork() [1] results in: Before: [FAIL] access should not have worked After: [PASS] access did not work as expected [1] https://gitlab.com/davidhildenbrand/scratchspace/-/raw/main/reproducers/hugetlb-mkwrite-fork.c This is rather a corner case, so stable might not be warranted.
