userfaultfd: wp: add the writeprotect API to userfaultfd ioctl
Introduce the new uffd-wp APIs for userspace. Firstly, we'll allow to do UFFDIO_REGISTER with write protection tracking using the new UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP flag. Note that this flag can co-exist with the existing UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING, in which case the userspace program can not only resolve missing page faults, and at the same time tracking page data changes along the way. Secondly, we introduced the new UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT API to do page level write protection tracking. Note that we will need to register the memory region with UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP before that.
