[ Upstream commit 0911d0041c22922228ca52a977d7b0b0159fee4b ]
Some ->page_mkwrite handlers may return VM_FAULT_RETRY as its return code (GFS2 or Lustre can definitely do this). However VM_FAULT_RETRY from ->page_mkwrite is completely unhandled by the mm code and results in locking and writeably mapping the page which definitely is not what the caller wanted.
Fix Lustre and block_page_mkwrite_ret() used by other filesystems (notably GFS2) to return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE instead which results in bailing out from the fault code, the CPU then retries the access, and we fault again effectively doing what the handler wanted.
