mm: fix the deadlock in finish_fault()
Commit 63f3655 ("mm, memcg: fix reclaim deadlock with writeback")
fix the following ABBA deadlock by pre-allocating the pte page table
without holding the page lock.
lock_page(A)
SetPageWriteback(A)
unlock_page(A)
lock_page(B)
lock_page(B)
pte_alloc_one
shrink_page_list
wait_on_page_writeback(A)
SetPageWriteback(B)
unlock_page(B)
# flush A, B to clear the writeback
Commit f9ce0be ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") reworked the relevant code but ignored this race. This will
cause the deadlock above to appear again, so fix it.
