Subject[PATCH 1/4] Rmap: Add page_wrprotect() function.
Date
this patch add new function called page_wrprotect(),
page_wrprotect() is used to take a page and mark all the pte that
point into it as readonly.

The function is working by walking the rmap of the page, and setting
each pte realted to the page as readonly.

The odirect_sync parameter is used to protect against possible races
with odirect while we are marking the pte as readonly,
as noted by Andrea Arcanglei:

"While thinking at get_user_pages_fast I figured another worse way
things can go wrong with ksm and o_direct: think a thread writing
constantly to the last 512bytes of a page, while another thread read
and writes to/from the first 512bytes of the page. We can lose
O_DIRECT reads, the very moment we mark any pte wrprotected..."
