mm: softdirty: make freshly remapped file pages being softdirty unconditionally
Hugh reported:
| I noticed your soft_dirty work in install_file_pte(): which looked
| good at first, until I realized that it's propagating the soft_dirty
| of a pte it's about to zap completely, to the unrelated entry it's
| about to insert in its place. Which seems very odd to me.
Indeed this code ends up being nop in result -- pte_file_mksoft_dirty()
operates with pte_t argument and returns new pte_t which were never used
after. After looking more I think what we need is to soft-dirtify all
newely remapped file pages because it should look like a new mapping for
memory tracker.
