Subject: mm/hmm: bypass devmap pte when all pfn requested flags are fulfilled

Previously, we noticed the one rpma example was failed[1] since
36f30e486d, where it will use ODP feature to do RDMA WRITE between fsdax
files.

After digging into the code, we found hmm_vma_handle_pte() will still
return EFAULT even though all the its requesting flags has been fulfilled.
That's because a DAX page will be marked as (_PAGE_SPECIAL | PAGE_DEVMAP)
by pte_mkdevmap().
