It's probably okay for arm64, but for archs with highmem it will be
a problem.
Use pte_offset_map_lock() instead.

[PATCH v6 3/3] mm: fix double page fault on arm64 if PTE_AF is cleared
When we tested pmdk unit test [1] vmmalloc_fork TEST1 in arm64 guest, there
will be a double page fault in __copy_from_user_inatomic of cow_user_page.
Below call trace is from arm64 do_page_fault for debugging purpose
[ 110.016195] Call trace:
[ 110.016826] do_page_fault+0x5a4/0x690
[ 110.017812] do_mem_abort+0x50/0xb0
[ 110.018726] el1_da+0x20/0xc4
[ 110.019492] __arch_copy_from_user+0x180/0x280
[ 110.020646] do_wp_page+0xb0/0x860
[ 110.021517] __handle_mm_fault+0x994/0x1338
[ 110.022606] handle_mm_fault+0xe8/0x180
[ 110.023584] do_page_fault+0x240/0x690
[ 110.024535] do_mem_abort+0x50/0xb0
[ 110.025423] el0_da+0x20/0x24
The pte info before __copy_from_user_inatomic is (PTE_AF is cleared):
[9b007000] pgd=00023d4f8003, pud=00023da9b003,
pmd=00023d4b3003, pte=36298607bd3
As told by Catalin: "On arm64 without hardware Access Flag, copying from
user will fail because the pte is old and cannot be marked young. So we
always end up with zeroed page after fork() + CoW for pfn mappings. we
don't always have a hardware-managed access flag on arm64."
This patch fix it by calling pte_mkyoung. Also, the parameter is
changed because vmf should be passed to cow_user_page()
Add a WARN_ON_ONCE when __copy_from_user_inatomic() returns error
in case there can be some obscure use-case.(by Kirill)
