Ma Wupeng d155df53f3 x86/mm/pat: clear VM_PAT if copy_p4d_range failed
Syzbot reports a warning in untrack_pfn().  Digging into the root we found
that this is due to memory allocation failure in pmd_alloc_one.  And this
failure is produced due to failslab.

In copy_page_range(), memory alloaction for pmd failed.  During the error
handling process in copy_page_range(), mmput() is called to remove all
vmas.  While untrack_pfn this empty pfn, warning happens.

Here's a simplified flow:

dup_mm
  dup_mmap
    copy_page_range
      copy_p4d_range
        copy_pud_range
          copy_pmd_range
            pmd_alloc
              __pmd_alloc
                pmd_alloc_one
                  page = alloc_pages(gfp, 0);
                    if (!page)
                      return NULL;
    mmput
        exit_mmap
          unmap_vmas
            unmap_single_vma
              untrack_pfn
                follow_phys
                  WARN_ON_ONCE(1);

Since this vma is not generate successfully, we can clear flag VM_PAT.  In
this case, untrack_pfn() will not be called while cleaning this vma.

Function untrack_pfn_moved() has also been renamed to fit the new logic.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
