This one looks good, as both src_vma/dst_vma should have the same flags related
to is_cow.

Should this be s/dst_vma/src_vma/ perhaps?  Alistairs please correct me
otherwise, as it tries to restore the pte for src mm not dst (the child).

I haven't yet got time to look at the new series, planning to do it tomorrow
maybe.. but I see that it's already queued in -mm.  Andrew, we do have chance
to go back if necessary, right?

I haven't looked at the rest, but I think try_restore_exclusive_pte() can at
least drop the *mm pointer as it's never used (even if we need, we've got
vma->vm_mm too)..
