mm: migrate: Close race between migration completion and mprotect
A migration entry is marked as write if pte_write was true at the time the entry was created. The VMA protections are not double checked when migration entries are being removed as mprotect marks write-migration-entries as read. It means that potentially we take a spurious fault to mark PTEs write again but it's straight-forward. However, there is a race between write migrations being marked read and migrations finishing. This potentially allows a PTE to be write that should have been read. Close this race by double checking the VMA permissions using maybe_mkwrite when migration completes.
