mm: add an explicit smp_wmb() to UFFDIO_CONTINUE
Users of UFFDIO_CONTINUE may reasonably assume that a write memory barrier
is included as part of UFFDIO_CONTINUE. That is, a user may believe that
all writes it has done to a page that it is now UFFDIO_CONTINUE'ing are
guaranteed to be visible to anyone subsequently reading the page through
the newly mapped virtual memory region.
Today, such a user happens to be correct. mmget_not_zero(), for example,
is called as part of UFFDIO_CONTINUE (and comes before any PTE updates),
and it implicitly gives us a write barrier.
To be resilient against future changes, include an explicit smp_wmb().
While we're at it, optimize the smp_wmb() that is already incidentally
present for the HugeTLB case.
Merely making a syscall does not generally imply the memory ordering
constraints that we need (including on x86).
