mainlining shenanigans

Just a bit of paranoia, since if we start pushing this deep into callchains it's hard to spot all places where an mmu notifier implementation might fail when it's not allowed to. Inspired by some confusion we had discussing i915 mmu notifiers and whether we could use the newly-introduced return value to handle some corner cases. Until we realized that these are only for when a task has been killed by the oom reaper. An alternative approach would be to split the callback into two versions, one with the int return value, and the other with void return value like in older kernels. But that's a lot more churn for fairly little gain I think. Summary from the m-l discussion on why we want something at warning level: This allows automated tooling in CI to catch bugs without humans having to look at everything. If we just upgrade the existing pr_info to a pr_warn, then we'll have false positives. And as-is, no one will ever spot the problem since it's lost in the massive amounts of overall dmesg noise.

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.
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.
