[RFC PATCH 5/5] userfaultfd_copy: return -ENOSPC in case mm has gone

[Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

In the non-cooperative userfaultfd case, the process exit may race with
outstanding mcopy_atomic called by the uffd monitor. Returning -ENOSPC
instead of -EINVAL when mm is already gone will allow uffd monitor to
distinguish this case from other error conditions.
