The comment above this if/else block points out that we hold no locks
and are only checking conditions that would cause a quick return. Yet,
this new code is potentially modifying flags. Pretty sure we can race
and have the entry change.

Not sure of all the side effects of emulating a read if changed entry is
not a uffd-wp special swap pte and we emulate read when we should not.

Perhaps we should just put this check and modification of flags after
taking the fault mutex and before the change below?
