Subject: shmem, userfaultfd: use a VMA callback to handle UFFDIO_CONTINUE
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 13:11:09 +0300

When userspace resolves a page fault in a shmem VMA with UFFDIO_CONTINUE
it needs to get a folio that already exists in the pagecache backing that
VMA.

Instead of using shmem_get_folio() for that, add a get_folio_noalloc()
method to 'struct vm_uffd_ops' that will return a folio if it exists in
the VMA's pagecache at given pgoff.

Implement get_folio_noalloc() method for shmem and slightly refactor
userfaultfd's mfill_get_vma() and mfill_atomic_pte_continue() to support
this new API.
