Sashiko says:
mremap_userfaultfd_prep() increments ctx->mmap_changing to stall
concurrent operations, but mremap_userfaultfd_fail() does not
decrement it before dropping the context reference.
If an mremap operation fails, ctx->mmap_changing remains elevated. This
will causes subsequent userfaultfd operations like a UFFDIO_COPY to fail
with -EAGAIN.
Decrement ctx->mmap_changing in mremap_userfaultfd_fail().
