mm/khugepaged: check again on anon uffd-wp during isolation

Khugepaged collapse an anonymous thp in two rounds of scans.  The 2nd
round done in __collapse_huge_page_isolate() after
hpage_collapse_scan_pmd(), during which all the locks will be released
temporarily.  It means the pgtable can change during this phase before 2nd
round starts.

It's logically possible some ptes got wr-protected during this phase, and
we can errornously collapse a thp without noticing some ptes are
wr-protected by userfault.  e1e267c7928f wanted to avoid it but it only
did that for the 1st phase, not the 2nd phase.

Since __collapse_huge_page_isolate() happens after a round of small page
swapins, we don't need to worry on any !present ptes - if it existed
khugepaged will already bail out.  So we only need to check present ptes
with uffd-wp bit set there.

This is something I found only but never had a reproducer, I thought it
was one caused a bug in Muhammad's recent pagemap new ioctl work, but it
turns out it's not the cause of that but an userspace bug.  However this
seems to still be a real bug even with a very small race window, still
worth to have it fixed and copy stable.
