Driver fault callbacks are allowed to drop the mmap_sem when expecting
long hardware waits to avoid blocking other mm users. Allow the mkwrite
callbacks to do the same by returning early on VM_FAULT_RETRY.

In particular we want to be able to drop the mmap_sem when waiting for
a reservation object lock on a GPU buffer object. These locks may be
held while waiting for the GPU.

A very minor nit, for consistency elsewhere in mm/memory.c,
could you make this be:
	(VM_FAULT_ERROR | VM_FAULT_NOPAGE | VM_FAULT_RETRY)

With this patch there will multiple instances of (VM_FAULT_ERROR |
VM_FAULT_RETRY | VM_FAULT_NOPAGE)
in mm/memory.c. Does it make sense to wrap it in a macro and use it ?

Even though the code will look neater, it might be trickier to follow a
particular error path. Could we perhaps postpone to a follow-up patch?

Sure. follow-up-patch is fine.
