[PATCH v2] mm/gup: Fix hugepd handling in hugetlb rework

Commit a12083d721d7 added hugepd handling for gup-slow, reusing gup-fast
functions.  follow_hugepd() correctly took the vma pointer in, however
didn't pass it over into the lower functions, which was overlooked.

The issue is gup_fast_hugepte() uses the vma pointer to make the correct
decision on whether an unshare is needed for a FOLL_PIN|FOLL_LONGTERM.  Now
without vma ponter it will constantly return "true" (needs an unshare) for
a page cache, even though in the SHARED case it will be wrong to unshare.

The other problem is, even if an unshare is needed, it now returns 0 rather
than -EMLINK, which will not trigger a follow up FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE fault.
That will need to be fixed too when the unshare is wanted.

gup_longterm test didn't expose this issue in the past because it didn't
yet test R/O unshare in this case, another separate patch will enable that
in future tests.

Fix it by passing vma correctly to the bottom, rename gup_fast_hugepte()
back to gup_hugepte() as it is shared between the fast/slow paths, and also
allow -EMLINK to be returned properly by gup_hugepte() even though gup-fast
will take it the same as zero.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240428190151.201002-1-peterx@redhat.com

This is v2 and dropped the 2nd test patch as a better one can come later,
this patch alone is kept untouched, added David's R-b.  Should apply to
both mm-stable and mm-unstable.  The target commit to be fixed should just
been moved into mm-stable, so no need to cc stable.
