mm/rmap: fix soft-dirty and uffd-wp bit loss when remapping zero-filled mTHP subpage to shared zeropage
When splitting an mTHP and replacing a zero-filled subpage with the shared zeropage, try_to_map_unused_to_zeropage() currently drops several important PTE bits. For userspace tools like CRIU, which rely on the soft-dirty mechanism for incremental snapshots, losing the soft-dirty bit means modified pages are missed, leading to inconsistent memory state after restore. As pointed out by David, the more critical uffd-wp bit is also dropped. This breaks the userfaultfd write-protection mechanism, causing writes to be silently missed by monitoring applications, which can lead to data corruption. Preserve both the soft-dirty and uffd-wp bits from the old PTE when creating the new zeropage mapping to ensure they are correctly tracked.
