mm: don't drop VMA locks in mm_drop_all_locks()

Despite its name, mm_drop_all_locks() does not drop _all_ locks; the mmap
lock is held write-locked by the caller, and the caller is responsible for
dropping the mmap lock at a later point (which will also release the VMA
locks).

Calling vma_end_write_all() here is dangerous because the caller might
have write-locked a VMA with the expectation that it will stay
write-locked until the mmap_lock is released, as usual.

This _almost_ becomes a problem in the following scenario:

An anonymous VMA A and an SGX VMA B are mapped adjacent to each other.
Userspace calls munmap() on a range starting at the start address of A and
ending in the middle of B.

Hypothetical call graph with additional notes in brackets:

do_vmi_align_munmap
[begin first for_each_vma_range loop]
vma_start_write [on VMA A]
vma_mark_detached [on VMA A]
__split_vma [on VMA B]
sgx_vma_open [== new->vm_ops->open]
sgx_encl_mm_add
__mmu_notifier_register [luckily THIS CAN'T ACTUALLY HAPPEN]
mm_take_all_locks
mm_drop_all_locks
vma_end_write_all [drops VMA lock taken on VMA A before]
vma_start_write [on VMA B]
vma_mark_detached [on VMA B]
[end first for_each_vma_range loop]
vma_iter_clear_gfp [removes VMAs from maple tree]
mmap_write_downgrade
unmap_region
mmap_read_unlock

In this hypothetical scenario, while do_vmi_align_munmap() thinks it still
holds a VMA write lock on VMA A, the VMA write lock has actually been
invalidated inside __split_vma().

The call from sgx_encl_mm_add() to __mmu_notifier_register() can't
actually happen here, as far as I understand, because we are duplicating
an existing SGX VMA, but sgx_encl_mm_add() only calls
__mmu_notifier_register() for the first SGX VMA created in a given
process. So this could only happen in fork(), not on munmap(). But in my
view it is just pure luck that this can't happen.

Also, we wouldn't actually have any bad consequences from this in
do_vmi_align_munmap(), because by the time the bug drops the lock on VMA
A, we've already marked VMA A as detached, which makes it completely
ineligible for any VMA-locked page faults. But again, that's just pure
luck.

So remove the vma_end_write_all(), so that VMA write locks are only ever
released on mmap_write_unlock() or mmap_write_downgrade().

Also add comments to document the locking rules established by this patch.

mm: fix memory ordering for mm_lock_seq and vm_lock_seq

mm->mm_lock_seq effectively functions as a read/write lock; therefore it
must be used with acquire/release semantics.

A specific example is the interaction between userfaultfd_register() and
lock_vma_under_rcu().

userfaultfd_register() does the following from the point where it changes
a VMA's flags to the point where concurrent readers are permitted again
(in a simple scenario where only a single private VMA is accessed and no
merging/splitting is involved):

userfaultfd_register
userfaultfd_set_vm_flags
vm_flags_reset
vma_start_write
down_write(&vma->vm_lock->lock)
vma->vm_lock_seq = mm_lock_seq [marks VMA as busy]
up_write(&vma->vm_lock->lock)
vm_flags_init
[sets VM_UFFD_* in __vm_flags]
vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx.ctx = ctx
mmap_write_unlock
vma_end_write_all
WRITE_ONCE(mm->mm_lock_seq, mm->mm_lock_seq + 1) [unlocks VMA]

There are no memory barriers in between the __vm_flags update and the
mm->mm_lock_seq update that unlocks the VMA, so the unlock can be
reordered to above the `vm_flags_init()` call, which means from the
perspective of a concurrent reader, a VMA can be marked as a userfaultfd
VMA while it is not VMA-locked. That's bad, we definitely need a
store-release for the unlock operation.

The non-atomic write to vma->vm_lock_seq in vma_start_write() is mostly
fine because all accesses to vma->vm_lock_seq that matter are always
protected by the VMA lock. There is a racy read in vma_start_read()
though that can tolerate false-positives, so we should be using
WRITE_ONCE() to keep things tidy and data-race-free (including for KCSAN).

On the other side, lock_vma_under_rcu() works as follows in the relevant
region for locking and userfaultfd check:

lock_vma_under_rcu
vma_start_read
vma->vm_lock_seq == READ_ONCE(vma->vm_mm->mm_lock_seq) [early bailout]
down_read_trylock(&vma->vm_lock->lock)
vma->vm_lock_seq == READ_ONCE(vma->vm_mm->mm_lock_seq) [main check]
userfaultfd_armed
checks vma->vm_flags & __VM_UFFD_FLAGS

Here, the interesting aspect is how far down the mm->mm_lock_seq read can
be reordered - if this read is reordered down below the vma->vm_flags
access, this could cause lock_vma_under_rcu() to partly operate on
information that was read while the VMA was supposed to be locked. To
prevent this kind of downwards bleeding of the mm->mm_lock_seq read, we
need to read it with a load-acquire.

Some of the comment wording is based on suggestions by Suren.

BACKPORT WARNING: One of the functions changed by this patch (which I've
written against Linus' tree) is vma_try_start_write(), but this function
no longer exists in mm/mm-everything. I don't know whether the merged
version of this patch will be ordered before or after the patch that
removes vma_try_start_write(). If you're backporting this patch to a tree
with vma_try_start_write(), make sure this patch changes that function.
