move_present_ptes() unconditionally makes the destination PTE writable,
dropping uffd-wp write-protection from the source PTE.
The original intent was to follow mremap() behavior, but mremap()'s
move_ptes() preserves the source write state unconditionally.
Modify uffd to preserve the source write state and check the uffd-wp
condition of the source before setting writable on the destination.
