Ira Weiny 5dc21f0c0b mm/shmem: ensure proper fallback if page faults
The kernel test robot flagged a recursive lock as a result of a conversion
from kmap_atomic() to kmap_local_folio()[Link]

The cause was due to the code depending on the kmap_atomic() side effect
of disabling page faults.  In that case the code expects the fault to fail
and take the fallback case.

git archaeology implied that the recursion may not be an actual bug.[1]
However, depending on the implementation of the mmap_lock and the
condition of the call there may still be a deadlock.[2] So this is not
purely a lockdep issue.  Considering a single threaded call stack there
are 3 options.

	1) Different mm's are in play (no issue)
	2) Readlock implementation is recursive and same mm is in play
	   (no issue)
	3) Readlock implementation is _not_ recursive (issue)

The mmap_lock is recursive so with a single thread there is no issue.

However, Matthew pointed out a deadlock scenario when you consider
additional process' and threads thusly.

"The readlock implementation is only recursive if nobody else has taken a
write lock.  If you have a multithreaded process, one of the other threads
can call mmap() and that will prevent recursion (due to fairness).  Even
if it's a different process that you're trying to acquire the mmap read
lock on, you can still get into a deadly embrace.  eg:

process A thread 1 takes read lock on own mmap_lock
process A thread 2 calls mmap, blocks taking write lock
process B thread 1 takes page fault, read lock on own mmap lock
process B thread 2 calls mmap, blocks taking write lock
process A thread 1 blocks taking read lock on process B
process B thread 1 blocks taking read lock on process A

Now all four threads are blocked waiting for each other."

Regardless using pagefault_disable() ensures that no matter what locking
implementation is used a deadlock will not occur.  Add an explicit
pagefault_disable() and a big comment to explain this for future souls
looking at this code.
