userfaultfd: add UFFDIO_SET_MODE for runtime sync/async toggle

Add an ioctl to toggle async mode at runtime without re-registering the
userfaultfd.  This allows a VMM to switch between sync and async RWP modes
on-the-fly -- for example, starting in async mode for working set
scanning, then switching to sync mode to intercept faults during page
eviction.

UFFDIO_SET_MODE takes an enable/disable bitmask of UFFD_FEATURE_* flags. 
Only UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC is toggleable today; the ioctl rejects any
other bit with -EINVAL.  Enabling RWP_ASYNC also requires RWP to have been
negotiated at UFFDIO_API time, mirroring the UFFDIO_API invariant.

Fault-path readers of ctx->features run under mmap_read_lock or a per-VMA
lock; the RMW takes mmap_write_lock and calls vma_start_write() on every
UFFD-armed VMA, so those readers are fully excluded. 
userfaultfd_show_fdinfo(), however, reads ctx->features without any lock,
so the RMW is written as a single WRITE_ONCE and fdinfo reads it with
READ_ONCE.  That keeps the lockless observer from seeing a mid-RMW
intermediate and removes the audit burden when new toggleable bits are
added later.

When switching to async, pending sync waiters are woken so they retry and
auto-resolve under the new mode.
