mm/userfaultfd: fix uninitialized output field for -EAGAIN race

Browse Source 
commit 9556772917 upstream.

While discussing some userfaultfd relevant issues recently, Andrea noticed
a potential ABI breakage with -EAGAIN on almost all userfaultfd ioctl()s.

Quote from Andrea, explaining how -EAGAIN was processed, and how this
should fix it (taking example of UFFDIO_COPY ioctl):

  The "mmap_changing" and "stale pmd" conditions are already reported as
  -EAGAIN written in the copy field, this does not change it. This change
  removes the subnormal case that left copy.copy uninitialized and required
  apps to explicitly set the copy field to get deterministic
  behavior (which is a requirement contrary to the documentation in both
  the manpage and source code). In turn there's no alteration to backwards
  compatibility as result of this change because userland will find the
  copy field consistently set to -EAGAIN, and not anymore sometime -EAGAIN
  and sometime uninitialized.

  Even then the change only can make a difference to non cooperative users
  of userfaultfd, so when UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_* is enabled, which is not
  true for the vast majority of apps using userfaultfd or this unintended
  uninitialized field may have been noticed sooner.

Meanwhile, since this bug existed for years, it also almost affects all
ioctl()s that was introduced later.  Besides UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE, these also
get affected in the same way:

  - UFFDIO_CONTINUE
  - UFFDIO_POISON
  - UFFDIO_MOVE

This patch should have fixed all of them.
