[PATCH v2 08/17] kernel/events/uprobes: handle device-exclusive entries correctly in __replace_page()

Ever since commit b756a3b5e7ea ("mm: device exclusive memory access")
we can return with a device-exclusive entry from page_vma_mapped_walk().

__replace_page() is not prepared for that, so teach it about these
PFN swap PTEs. Note that device-private entries are so far not
applicable on that path, because GUP would never have returned such
folios (conversion to device-private happens by page migration, not
in-place conversion of the PTE).

There is a race between GUP and us locking the folio to look it up
using page_vma_mapped_walk(), so this is likely a fix (unless something
else could prevent that race, but it doesn't look like). pte_pfn() on
something that is not a present pte could give use garbage, and we'd
wrongly mess up the mapcount because it was already adjusted by calling
folio_remove_rmap_pte() when making the entry device-exclusive.

Fixes: b756a3b5e7ea ("mm: device exclusive memory access")
