mm: change return values of finish_mkwrite_fault()

Currently finish_mkwrite_fault() returns 0 when PTE got changed before
we acquired PTE lock and VM_FAULT_WRITE when we succeeded in modifying
the PTE.  This is somewhat confusing since 0 generally means success, it
is also inconsistent with finish_fault() which returns 0 on success.
Change finish_mkwrite_fault() to return 0 on success and VM_FAULT_NOPAGE
when PTE changed.  Practically, there should be no behavioral difference
since we bail out from the fault the same way regardless whether we
return 0, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, or VM_FAULT_WRITE.  Also note that
VM_FAULT_WRITE has no effect for shared mappings since the only two
places that check it - KSM and GUP - care about private mappings only.
Generally the meaning of VM_FAULT_WRITE for shared mappings is not well
defined and we should probably clean that up.
