mm/autonuma: use can_change_(pte|pmd)_writable() to replace savedwrite

commit b191f9b106ea ("mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a
NUMA hinting fault") added remembering write permissions using ordinary
pte_write() for PROT_NONE mapped pages to avoid write faults when
remapping the page !PROT_NONE on NUMA hinting faults.

That commit noted:

    The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse. The tidest was
    to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex
    than this approach and the performance was worse. It's not generally
    safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write
    fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was
    discarded.

Later, commit 288bc54949fc ("mm/autonuma: let architecture override how
the write bit should be stashed in a protnone pte.") introduced a family
of savedwrite PTE functions that didn't necessarily improve the whole
situation.

One confusing thing is that nowadays, if a page is pte_protnone()
and pte_savedwrite() then also pte_write() is true. Another source of
confusion is that there is only a single pte_mk_savedwrite() call in the
kernel. All other write-protection code seems to silently rely on
pte_wrprotect().

Ever since PageAnonExclusive was introduced and we started using it in
mprotect context via commit 64fe24a3e05e ("mm/mprotect: try avoiding write
faults for exclusive anonymous pages when changing protection"), we do
have machinery in place to avoid write faults when changing protection,
which is exactly what we want to do here.

Let's similarly do what ordinary mprotect() does nowadays when upgrading
write permissions and reuse can_change_pte_writable() and
can_change_pmd_writable() to detect if we can upgrade PTE permissions to be
writable.

For anonymous pages there should be absolutely no change: if an
anonymous page is not exclusive, it could not have been mapped writable --
because only exclusive anonymous pages can be mapped writable.

However, there *might* be a change for writable shared mappings that
require writenotify: if they are not dirty, we cannot map them writable.
While it might not matter in practice, we'd need a different way to
identify whether writenotify is actually required -- and ordinary mprotect
would benefit from that as well.

Note that we don't optimize for the actual migration case:
(1) When migration succeeds the new PTE will not be writable because the
    source PTE was not writable (protnone); in the future we
    might just optimize that case similarly by reusing
    can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() when removing
    migration PTEs.
(2) When migration fails, we'd have to recalculate the "writable" flag
    because we temporarily dropped the PT lock; for now keep it simple and
    set "writable=false".

We'll remove all savedwrite leftovers next.
