Currently we duplicate handling of shared write faults in
wp_page_reuse() and do_shared_fault(). Factor them out into a common
function.

I think you may need to pass in a 'page_mkwrite' parameter if you don't want
to change behavior.  Just checking to see of vma->vm_ops->page_mkwrite is
non-NULL works fine for this path:

do_shared_fault()
	fault_dirty_shared_page()

and for

wp_page_shared()
	wp_page_reuse()
		fault_dirty_shared_page()

But for these paths:

wp_pfn_shared()
	wp_page_reuse()
		fault_dirty_shared_page()

and

do_wp_page()
	wp_page_reuse()
		fault_dirty_shared_page()

we unconditionally pass 0 for the 'page_mkwrite' parameter, even though from
the logic in wp_pfn_shared() especially you can see that
vma->vm_ops->pfn_mkwrite() must be defined some of the time.

The trick which makes this work is that for fault_dirty_shared_page() to be
called at all, you have to set 'dirty_shared' argument to wp_page_reuse()
and that does not happen from wp_pfn_shared() and do_wp_page() paths. So
things work as they should. If you look somewhat later into the series,
the patch "mm: Move part of wp_page_reuse() into the single call site"
cleans this up to make things more obvious.

Ah, cool, that makes sense.
