userfaultfd: prevent unregistering VMAs through a different userfaultfd
Currently, a VMA registered with a uffd can be unregistered through a different uffd associated with the same mm_struct. The existing behavior is slightly broken and may incorrectly reject unregistering some VMAs due to the following check: if (!vma_can_userfault(cur, cur->vm_flags, wp_async)) goto out_unlock; where wp_async is derived from ctx, not from cur. For example, a file-backed VMA registered with wp_async enabled and UFFD_WP mode cannot be unregistered through a uffd that does not have wp_async enabled. Rather than fix this and maintain this odd behavior, make unregistration stricter by requiring VMAs to be unregistered through the same uffd they were registered with. Additionally, reorder the BUG() checks to avoid the aforementioned wp_async issue in them. Convert the existing check to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() as BUG_ON() is deprecated. This change slightly modifies the ABI. It should not be backported to -stable. It is expected that no one depends on this behavior, and no such cases are known. While at it, correct the comment for the no userfaultfd case. This seems to be a copy-paste artifact from the analogous userfaultfd_register() check.
