x86/mm: Update ptep/pmdp_set_wrprotect() for _PAGE_SAVED_DIRTY

When shadow stack is in use, Write=0,Dirty=1 PTE are preserved for
shadow stack. Copy-on-write PTEs then have Write=0,SavedDirty=1.

When a PTE goes from Write=1,Dirty=1 to Write=0,SavedDirty=1, it could
become a transient shadow stack PTE in two cases:

1. Some processors can start a write but end up seeing a Write=0 PTE by
   the time they get to the Dirty bit, creating a transient shadow stack
   PTE. However, this will not occur on processors supporting shadow
   stack, and a TLB flush is not necessary.

2. When _PAGE_DIRTY is replaced with _PAGE_SAVED_DIRTY non-atomically, a
   transient shadow stack PTE can be created as a result.

Prevent the second case when doing a write protection and Dirty->SavedDirty
shift at the same time with a CMPXCHG loop. The first case

Note, in the PAE case CMPXCHG will need to operate on 8 byte, but
try_cmpxchg() will not use CMPXCHG8B, so it cannot operate on a full PAE
PTE. However the exiting logic is not operating on a full 8 byte region
either, and relies on the fact that the Write bit is in the first 4
bytes when doing the clear_bit(). Since both the Dirty, SavedDirty and
Write bits are in the first 4 bytes, casting to a long will be similar to
the existing behavior which also casts to a long.

Dave Hansen, Jann Horn, Andy Lutomirski, and Peter Zijlstra provided many
insights to the issue. Jann Horn provided the CMPXCHG solution.
