mshv: Use hmm_range_fault_unlocked() for region faults

Convert mshv_region_hmm_fault_and_lock() to use hmm_range_fault_unlocked()
instead of taking mmap_read_lock() around hmm_range_fault() directly.
This allows the MSHV fault path to handle mappings whose fault handlers may
drop mmap_lock.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but since we are modifying the
fault retry logic, does the retry loop in mshv_region_range_fault() need to
check for fatal signals?

When mmu_interval_read_retry() detects a collision, this function returns
-EBUSY, which bubbles up to the caller in drivers/hv/mshv_regions.c:

mshv_region_range_fault() {
        ...
        do {
                ret = mshv_region_hmm_fault_and_lock(region, &range);
        } while (ret == -EBUSY);
        ...
}

If a userspace program continuously invalidates the memory range concurrently
(for example, via madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)), mmu_interval_read_retry() can
repeatedly return true.

Without a check for fatal_signal_pending(current) inside the loop or before
returning -EBUSY, could this cause the kernel thread to spin indefinitely and
ignore fatal signals like SIGKILL?
