The following fixup for that device-exclusive thingy on top (fixing a hmm
selftest I just discovered to be broken).

Subject: [PATCH] fixup: mm/memory: pass PTE to copy_present_pte()

For device-exclusive nonswp entries (is_device_exclusive_entry()),
copy_nonpresent_pte() can turn the PTEs into actual present PTEs while
holding the page table lock.

We hae to re-read the PTE after that operation, such that we won't be
working on the stale non-present PTE, assuming it would be present.

This fixes the hmm "exclusive_cow" selftest.

  ./run_vmtests.sh -t hmm
  # #  RUN           hmm.hmm_device_private.exclusive_cow ...
  # #            OK  hmm.hmm_device_private.exclusive_cow
  # ok 23 hmm.hmm_device_private.exclusive_cow
