commit e763243cc6cb1fcc720ec58cfd6e7c35ae90a479 upstream.

userfaultfd calls copy_huge_page_from_user() which does not do any cache
flushing for the target page. Then the target page will be mapped to
the user space with a different address (user address), which might have
an alias issue with the kernel address used to copy the data from the
user to.

Fix this issue by flushing dcache in copy_huge_page_from_user().
