From: Yu-cheng Yu <redacted>

The x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) feature includes a new
type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some
unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function
properly.

In change_pte_range(), when a PTE is changed for prot_numa, _PAGE_RW is
preserved to avoid the additional write fault after the NUMA hinting fault.
However, pte_write() now includes both normal writable and shadow stack
(Write=0, Dirty=1) PTEs, but the latter does not have _PAGE_RW and has no
need to preserve it.

Exclude shadow stack from preserve_write test, and apply the same change to
change_huge_pmd().

 - Move is_shadow_stack_mapping() to a separate line.

Yu-cheng v24:
 - Change arch_shadow_stack_mapping() to is_shadow_stack_mapping().
