H A Dhugetlb.c4eae4efa Fri Mar 12 23:07:33 CST 2021 Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> hugetlb: do early cow when page pinned on src mm

This is the last missing piece of the COW-during-fork effort when there're
pinned pages found. One can reference 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for
pinned pages during fork() for ptes", 2020-09-27) for more information,
since we do similar things here rather than pte this time, but just for
hugetlb.

Note that after Jason's recent work on 57efa1fe5957 ("mm/gup: prevent
gup_fast from racing with COW during fork", 2020-12-15) which is safer and
easier to understand, we're safe now within the whole copy_page_range()
against gup-fast, we don't need the wr-protect trick that proposed in
70e806e4e645 anymore.
