mm/memory.c: don't forget to set softdirty on file mapped fault
Otherwise we may not notice that pte was softdirty because pte_mksoft_dirty helper _returns_ new pte but doesn't modify the argument. In case if page fault happend on dirty filemapping the newly created pte may loose softdirty bit thus if a userspace program is tracking memory changes with help of a memory tracker (CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY) it might miss modification of a memory page (which in worts case may lead to data inconsistency).
