Sashiko says:

  mremap_userfaultfd_prep() increments ctx->mmap_changing to stall
  concurrent operations, but mremap_userfaultfd_fail() does not
  decrement it before dropping the context reference.

If an mremap operation fails, ctx->mmap_changing remains elevated. This
will causes subsequent userfaultfd operations like a UFFDIO_COPY to fail
with -EAGAIN.

Decrement ctx->mmap_changing in mremap_userfaultfd_fail().

I split the fix from the code movement series, will be easier to
everyone :)

v2 changes:
* VM_WARN() if mmap_changing is going negative

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260501145433.156211-1-rppt@kernel.org
(patch 1/3)
