[PATCH v6] mm/userfaultfd: detect VMA type change after copy retry in mfill_copy_folio_retry()

[David Carlier]

mfill_copy_folio_retry() drops mmap_lock for the copy_from_user() call.
During this window, the VMA can be replaced with a different type (e.g.
hugetlb), making the caller's ops pointer stale. Subsequent use of the
stale ops can lead to incorrect folio handling or a kernel crash.

Capture the VMA's ops via vma_uffd_ops() before dropping the lock and
compare against the current vma_uffd_ops() after re-acquiring it. Return
-EAGAIN if they differ so the operation can be retried. This avoids
comparing against the caller's ops which may have been overridden to
anon_uffd_ops for MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings.
