mm/rmap: support move to different root anon_vma in folio_move_anon_rmap()

Patch series "userfaultfd move option", v6.

This patch series introduces UFFDIO_MOVE feature to userfaultfd, which has
long been implemented and maintained by Andrea in his local tree [1], but
was not upstreamed due to lack of use cases where this approach would be
better than allocating a new page and copying the contents.  Previous
upstraming attempts could be found at [6] and [7].

UFFDIO_COPY performs ~20% better than UFFDIO_MOVE when the application
needs pages to be allocated [2].  However, with UFFDIO_MOVE, if pages are
available (in userspace) for recycling, as is usually the case in heap
compaction algorithms, then we can avoid the page allocation and memcpy
(done by UFFDIO_COPY).  Also, since the pages are recycled in the
userspace, we avoid the need to release (via madvise) the pages back to
the kernel [3].  We see over 40% reduction (on a Google pixel 6 device) in
the compacting thread's completion time by using UFFDIO_MOVE vs. 
UFFDIO_COPY.  This was measured using a benchmark that emulates a heap
compaction implementation using userfaultfd (to allow concurrent accesses
by application threads).  More details of the usecase are explained in
[3].

Furthermore, UFFDIO_MOVE enables moving swapped-out pages without
touching them within the same vma. Today, it can only be done by mremap,
however it forces splitting the vma.

TODOs for follow-up improvements:
- cross-mm support. Known differences from single-mm and missing pieces:
	- memcg recharging (might need to isolate pages in the process)
	- mm counters
	- cross-mm deposit table moves
	- cross-mm test
	- document the address space where src and dest reside in struct
	  uffdio_move

- TLB flush batching.  Will require extensive changes to PTL locking in
  move_pages_pte().  OTOH that might let us reuse parts of mremap code.


This patch (of 5):

For now, folio_move_anon_rmap() was only used to move a folio to a
different anon_vma after fork(), whereby the root anon_vma stayed
unchanged.  For that, it was sufficient to hold the folio lock when
calling folio_move_anon_rmap().

However, we want to make use of folio_move_anon_rmap() to move folios
between VMAs that have a different root anon_vma.  As folio_referenced()
performs an RMAP walk without holding the folio lock but only holding the
anon_vma in read mode, holding the folio lock is insufficient.

When moving to an anon_vma with a different root anon_vma, we'll have to
hold both, the folio lock and the anon_vma lock in write mode. 
Consequently, whenever we succeeded in folio_lock_anon_vma_read() to
read-lock the anon_vma, we have to re-check if the mapping was changed in
the meantime.  If that was the case, we have to retry.

Note that folio_move_anon_rmap() must only be called if the anon page is
exclusive to a process, and must not be called on KSM folios.

This is a preparation for UFFDIO_MOVE, which will hold the folio lock, the
anon_vma lock in write mode, and the mmap_lock in read mode.
