[PATCH 11/14] mm: userfaultfd: move_pages_pte() use pte_offset_map_maywrite_nolock()

In move_pages_pte(), we may modify the dst_pte and src_pte after acquiring
the ptl, so convert it to using pte_offset_map_maywrite_nolock(). But
since we already do the pte_same() check, there is no need to get pmdval
to do pmd_same() check, just pass NULL to pmdvalp parameter.
