userfaultfd: shmem: UFFDIO_COPY: set the page dirty if VM_WRITE is not set

Set the page dirty if VM_WRITE is not set because in such case the pte
won't be marked dirty and the page would be reclaimed without writepage
(i.e.  swapout in the shmem case).

This was found by source review.  Most apps (certainly including QEMU)
only use UFFDIO_COPY on PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE mappings or the app can't
modify the memory in the first place.  This is for correctness and it
could help the non cooperative use case to avoid unexpected data loss.
