mm: change dup_mmap() recovery
When the dup_mmap() fails during the vma duplication or setup, don't write the XA_ZERO entry in the vma tree. Instead, destroy the tree and free the new resources, leaving an empty vma tree. Using XA_ZERO introduced races where the vma could be found between dup_mmap() dropping all locks and exit_mmap() taking the locks. The race can occur because the mm can be reached through the other trees via successfully copied vmas and other methods such as the swapoff code. XA_ZERO was marking the location to stop vma removal and pagetable freeing. The newly created arguments to the unmap_vmas() and free_pgtables() serve this function. Replacing the XA_ZERO entry use with the new argument list also means the checks for xa_is_zero() are no longer necessary so these are also removed. Note that dup_mmap() now cleans up when ALL vmas are successfully copied, but the dup_mmap() fails to completely set up some other aspect of the duplication.
