Re: [PATCH v3 32/40] mm/uffd: use predicates for userfaultfd checks

Rather than directly checking VMA flags, use the newly introduced vma_is_kernel_owned() and vma_is_persistent() helpers in userfaultfd when assessing VMA suitability for userfaultfd and UFFDIO_MOVE. Update vma_move_compatible() so it's expressed in terms of VMA characteristics rather than arbitrary flags. Additionally, update the use of the deprecated VMA flag API when checking VMA_SHADOW_STACK_BIT. A VMA_IO_BIT check is no longer required but that is fine as a hard invariant has been established that only kernel-owned mappings may set VMA_IO_BIT so the check is now redundant.
