Add new WP Async mode (UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC) which resolves the page faults on its own. It can be used to track that which pages have been written-to from the time the pages were write-protected. It is very efficient way to track the changes as uffd is by nature pte/pmd based.
UFFD synchronous WP sends the page faults to the userspace where the pages which have been written-to can be tracked. But it is not efficient. This is why this asynchronous version is being added. After setting the WP Async, the pages which have been written to can be found in the pagemap file or information can be obtained from the PAGEMAP_IOCTL.

Changes in v7:
- Remove UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_ASYNC_WP and add UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC
- Handle automatic page fault resolution in better way (thanks to Peter)

This is for THP, not hugetlb.
Clearing uffd-wp bit here for the whole pmd is wrong to me, because we track writes in small page sizes only. We should just split.
The relevant code for hugetlb resides in hugetlb_fault().
