mm/vma: avoid broken uffd merge on mremap
Userfaultfd often causes unexpected interactions within mm, and does so at the intersection of uffd, mremap() and VMA merging. When an mremap of a VMA occurs, copy_vma_and_data() calls mremap_userfaultfd_prep() to notify uffd of this. However, mremap_userfaultfd_prep() simply drops the UFFD context for the VMA if the user did not register it for remap, i.e. didn't specify the UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_REMAP flag. This is OK for the VMA itself, as upon page table move, move_ptes() clears UFFD page table flags, using vma_has_uffd_without_event_remap() to determine whether to do so. However, this doesn't account for merging with adjacent VMAs, whose page tables won't have received this treatment, and thus latent UFFD markers will be left around. Worse, it'll break UFFD for any VMAs it is merged with. This is very surprising behaviour for a user, who will then simply not receive UFFD events for VMAs they ought to. Resolve the issue by explicitly checking for this case via vma_has_uffd_without_event_remap() in vma_merge_copied_range(), the merge function explicitly designated for mremap() operations. Also update the userland VMA tests accordingly.
