[PATCH] fix get_user_pages bug
Checking pte_dirty instead of pte_write in __follow_page is problematic for s390, and for copy_one_pte which leaves dirty when clearing write. So revert __follow_page to check pte_write as before, and make do_wp_page pass back a special extra VM_FAULT_WRITE bit to say it has done its full job: once get_user_pages receives this value, it no longer requires pte_write in __follow_page. But most callers of handle_mm_fault, in the various architectures, have switch statements which do not expect this new case. To avoid changing them all in a hurry, make an inline wrapper function (using the old name) that masks off the new bit, and use the extended interface with double underscores. Yes, we do have a call to do_wp_page from do_swap_page, but no need to change that: in rare case it's needed, another do_wp_page will follow.
