This allows uffd-wp to support write-protected pages for COW.

For example, the uffd write-protected PTE could also be write-protected
by other usages like COW or zero pages.  When that happens, we can't
simply set the write bit in the PTE since otherwise it'll change the
content of every single reference to the page.  Instead, we should do
the COW first if necessary, then handle the uffd-wp fault.

To correctly copy the page, we'll also need to carry over the
_PAGE_UFFD_WP bit if it was set in the original PTE.

For huge PMDs, we just simply split the huge PMDs where we want to
resolve an uffd-wp page fault always.  That matches what we do with
general huge PMD write protections.  In that way, we resolved the huge
PMD copy-on-write issue into PTE copy-on-write.
