Currently, a VMA registered with a uffd can be unregistered through a
different uffd associated with the same mm_struct.
The existing behavior is slightly broken and may incorrectly reject
unregistering some VMAs due to the following check:
if (!vma_can_userfault(cur, cur->vm_flags, wp_async))
goto out_unlock;
where wp_async is derived from ctx, not from cur. For example, a file-backed
VMA registered with wp_async enabled and UFFD_WP mode cannot be unregistered
through a uffd that does not have wp_async enabled.
Rather than fix this and maintain this odd behavior, make unregistration
stricter by requiring VMAs to be unregistered through the same uffd they
were registered with. Additionally, reorder the WARN() checks to avoid
the aforementioned wp_async issue in the WARN()s.
This change slightly modifies the ABI. It should not be backported to
-stable.
While at it, correct the comment for the no userfaultfd case. This seems to
be a copy-paste artifact from the analogous userfaultfd_register() check.
