mm: change return values of finish_mkwrite_fault()
Currently finish_mkwrite_fault() returns 0 when PTE got changed before we acquired PTE lock and VM_FAULT_WRITE when we succeeded in modifying the PTE. This is somewhat confusing since 0 generally means success, it is also inconsistent with finish_fault() which returns 0 on success. Change finish_mkwrite_fault() to return 0 on success and VM_FAULT_NOPAGE when PTE changed. Practically, there should be no behavioral difference since we bail out from the fault the same way regardless whether we return 0, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, or VM_FAULT_WRITE. Also note that VM_FAULT_WRITE has no effect for shared mappings since the only two places that check it - KSM and GUP - care about private mappings only. Generally the meaning of VM_FAULT_WRITE for shared mappings is not well defined and we should probably clean that up.
