Matthew Wilcox c430d1e848 userfaultfd: use fault_wqh lock
The userfaultfd code currently uses the unlocked waitqueue helpers for
managing fault_wqh, but instead of holding the waitqueue lock for this
waitqueue around these calls, it the waitqueue lock of
fault_pending_wq, which is a different waitqueue instance.  Given that
the waitqueue is not exposed to the rest of the kernel this actually
works ok at the moment, but prevents the userfaultfd locking rules from
being enforced using lockdep.

Switch to the internally locked waitqueue helpers instead.  This means
that the lock inside fault_wqh now nests inside the fault_pending_wqh
lock, but that's not a problem since it was entirely unused before.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
