userfaultfd: correctly prevent registering VM_DROPPABLE regions

Patch series "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups", v3.

Two fixes and two cleanups for userfaultfd.

Note that the third patch yields a small change in the ABI, but we seem to
have concluded that it is acceptable in this case.


This patch (of 4):

vma_can_userfault() masks off non-userfaultfd VM flags from vm_flags.  The
vm_flags & VM_DROPPABLE test will then always be false, incorrectly
allowing VM_DROPPABLE regions to be registered with userfaultfd.

Additionally, vm_flags is not guaranteed to correspond to the actual VMA's
flags.  Fix this test by checking the VMA's flags directly.
