What is this comment doing here? It doesn't make sense. It looks copied from
create_rstor_token()?

Instead of the above comment, I think the important thing to say is that args-
shadow_stack_token is 8 byte aligned, so offset can't overflow out of the page.
Maybe?

/* kernel_clone_args verification assures token address is 8 byte aligned */

+
+	if (!cmpxchg_to_user_page(vma, page, token, (unsigned long *)(maddr + offset),
+				  expected, 0))
+		return -EINVAL;
+	set_page_dirty_lock(page);
+
+	return 0;
+}

With those changes, for the series:
