mm/mempolicy.c: fix checking unmapped holes for mbind

mainline inclusion
from mainline-v5.5-rc1
commit f18da660
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 97910
CVE: NA

-------------------------------------------------

mbind() is required to report EFAULT if range, specified by addr and
len, contains unmapped holes.  In current implementation, below rules
are applied for this checking:

 1: Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be reported
    as EFAULT if mbind() for none MPOL_DEFAULT cases;

 2: Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be ignored
    (do not reprot EFAULT) if mbind() for MPOL_DEFAULT case;

 3: The whole range in an unmapped hole should be reported as EFAULT;

Note that rule 2 does not fullfill the mbind() API definition, but since
that behavior has existed for long days (the internal flag
MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK is for this purpose), this patch does not plan to
change it.

In current code, application observed inconsistent behavior on rule 1
and rule 2 respectively.  That inconsistency is fixed as below details.

Cases of rule 1:

 - Hole at head side of range. Current code reprot EFAULT, no change by
   this patch.

    [  vma  ][ hole ][  vma  ]
                [  range  ]

 - Hole at middle of range. Current code report EFAULT, no change by
   this patch.

    [  vma  ][ hole ][ vma ]
       [     range      ]

 - Hole at tail side of range. Current code do not report EFAULT, this
   patch fixes it.

    [  vma  ][ hole ][ vma ]
       [  range  ]

Cases of rule 2:

 - Hole at head side of range. Current code reports EFAULT, this patch
   fixes it.

    [  vma  ][ hole ][  vma  ]
                [  range  ]

 - Hole at middle of range. Current code does not report EFAULT, no
   change by this patch.

    [  vma  ][ hole ][ vma]
       [     range      ]

 - Hole at tail side of range. Current code does not report EFAULT, no
   change by this patch.

    [  vma  ][ hole ][ vma]
       [  range  ]

This patch has no changes to rule 3.

The unmapped hole checking can also be handled by using .pte_hole(),
instead of .test_walk().  But .pte_hole() is called for holes inside and
outside vma, which causes more cost, so this patch keeps the original
design with .test_walk().
