For VMAs registered with userfaultfd the new __do_userfault() helper will check if the folio is found in the page cache using vm_uffd_ops->get_folio_noalloc() and call handle_userfault() with the appropriate mode. Make vm_uffd_ops->get_folio_noalloc() required method for non-anonymous VMAs mapped at PTE level.
