Extend FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE to break COW on anything mapped into a COW (i.e., private writable) mapping and adjust the documentation accordingly. FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE will now also break COW when encountering the shared zeropage, a pagecache page, a PFNMAP, ... inside a COW mapping, by properly replacing the mapped page/pfn by a private copy (an exclusive anonymous page). Note that only do_wp_page() needs care: hugetlb_wp() already handles FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE correctly. wp_huge_pmd()/wp_huge_pud() also handles it correctly, for example, splitting the huge zeropage on FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE such that we can handle FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE on the PTE level. This change is a requirement for reliable long-term R/O pinning in COW mappings.
