Subject: [PATCH] userfaultfd: ensure mremap_userfaultfd_fail() releases
 mmap_changing

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().
