mm/userfaultfd: wake waiters when registration modes are removed
UFFDIO_REGISTER can replace MISSING or MINOR tracking without waking
faults that are already queued. For example, switching an anonymous
range from MISSING to WP leaves a missing-fault waiter asleep until
userspace explicitly wakes it.
When a registration change removes a UFFD mode, wake waiters in the
affected interval after updating the VMA. The VMA is write-locked at
this point, so no new faults can queue under the old modes and woken
threads cannot retry until mmap_write_unlock(). Waiters for retained
modes in the same interval may also wake and refault.
The hang reproduces for MISSING-to-WP and MINOR-to-MISSING transitions,
with both read and unread fault events.
