arch/mm/fault: fix major fault accounting when retrying under per-VMA lock
A test [1] in Android test suite started failing after [2] was merged. It turns out that after handling a major fault under per-VMA lock, the process major fault counter does not register that fault as major. Before [2] read faults would be done under mmap_lock, in which case FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag is set before retrying. That in turn causes mm_account_fault() to account the fault as major once retry completes. With per-VMA locks we often retry because a fault can't be handled without locking the whole mm using mmap_lock. Therefore such retries do not set FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag. This logic does not work after [2] because we can now handle read major faults under per-VMA lock and upon retry the fact there was a major fault gets lost. Fix this by setting FAULT_FLAG_TRIED after retrying under per-VMA lock if VM_FAULT_MAJOR was returned. Ideally we would use an additional VM_FAULT bit to indicate the reason for the retry (could not handle under per-VMA lock vs other reason) but this simpler solution seems to work, so keeping it simple.
