IIUC this patch is not needed. You have a stable vma, so I think you can
directly use uffd_wp_range(), while most of the mwriteprotect_range() is
not needed.

There's one trivial detail of ignoring userfaultfd_ctx->mmap_changing when
it's set to true, but I don't think it applies here either because it was
used to resolve a problem in uffd non-cooperative mode on the predictable
behavior of events, here I don't think it matters a lot either.
