userfaultfd: protect mmap_changing with rw_sem in userfaulfd_ctx



Increments and loads to mmap_changing are always in mmap_lock critical
section.  This ensures that if userspace requests event notification for
non-cooperative operations (e.g.  mremap), userfaultfd operations don't
occur concurrently.

This can be achieved by using a separate read-write semaphore in
userfaultfd_ctx such that increments are done in write-mode and loads in
read-mode, thereby eliminating the dependency on mmap_lock for this
purpose.

This is a preparatory step before we replace mmap_lock usage with per-vma
locks in fill/move ioctls.
