mm/rmap: avoid -EBUSY from make_device_exclusive()
Failing to obtain the folio lock, for example because the folio is concurrently getting migrated or swapped out, can easily make the callers fail: for example, the hmm selftest can sometimes be observed to fail because of this. Instead of forcing the caller to retry, let's simply retry in this to-be-expected case. Similarly, avoid spurious failures simply because we raced with someone (e.g., swapout) modifying the page table such that our folio_walk fails. Simply unconditionally lock the folio, and retry GUP if our folio_walk fails. Note that the folio_walk repeatedly failing is not something we expect. Note that we might want to avoid grabbing the folio lock at some point; for now, keep that as is and only unconditionally lock the folio. With this change, the hmm selftests don't fail simply because the folio is already locked. While this fixes the selftests in some cases, it's likely not something that deserves a "Fixes:".
