[PATCH 8/9] x86/cet: Handle shadow stack page fault

When a task does fork(), its shadow stack must be duplicated for
the child. However, the child may not actually use all pages of
of the copied shadow stack. This patch implements a flow that
is similar to copy-on-write of an anonymous page, but for shadow
stack memory. A shadow stack PTE needs to be RO and dirty. We
use this dirty bit requirement to effect the copying of shadow
stack pages.

In copy_one_pte(), we clear the dirty bit from the shadow stack
PTE. On the next shadow stack access to the PTE, a page fault
occurs. At that time, we then copy/re-use the page and fix the
PTE.
