userfaultfd: prevent non-cooperative events vs mcopy_atomic races

If a process monitored with userfaultfd changes it's memory mappings or
forks() at the same time as uffd monitor fills the process memory with
UFFDIO_COPY, the actual creation of page table entries and copying of
the data in mcopy_atomic may happen either before of after the memory
mapping modifications and there is no way for the uffd monitor to
maintain consistent view of the process memory layout.

For instance, let's consider fork() running in parallel with
userfaultfd_copy():

process        		         |	uffd monitor
---------------------------------+------------------------------
fork()        		         | userfaultfd_copy()
...        		         | ...
    dup_mmap()        	         |     down_read(mmap_sem)
    down_write(mmap_sem)         |     /* create PTEs, copy data */
        dup_uffd()               |     up_read(mmap_sem)
        copy_page_range()        |
        up_write(mmap_sem)       |
        dup_uffd_complete()      |
            /* notify monitor */ |

If the userfaultfd_copy() takes the mmap_sem first, the new page(s) will
be present by the time copy_page_range() is called and they will appear
in the child's memory mappings.  However, if the fork() is the first to
take the mmap_sem, the new pages won't be mapped in the child's address
space.

If the pages are not present and child tries to access them, the monitor
will get page fault notification and everything is fine.  However, if
the pages *are present*, the child can access them without uffd
noticing.  And if we copy them into child it'll see the wrong data.
Since we are talking about background copy, we'd need to decide whether
the pages should be copied or not regardless #PF notifications.

Since userfaultfd monitor has no way to determine what was the order,
let's disallow userfaultfd_copy in parallel with the non-cooperative
events.  In such case we return -EAGAIN and the uffd monitor can
understand that userfaultfd_copy() clashed with a non-cooperative event
and take an appropriate action.
