mm: fix the deadlock in finish_fault()

Commit 63f3655f9501 ("mm, memcg: fix reclaim deadlock with writeback")
fix the following ABBA deadlock by pre-allocating the pte page table
without holding the page lock.

                                lock_page(A)
                                        SetPageWriteback(A)
                                        unlock_page(A)
  lock_page(B)
                                        lock_page(B)
  pte_alloc_one
    shrink_page_list
      wait_on_page_writeback(A)
                                        SetPageWriteback(B)
                                        unlock_page(B)

                                        # flush A, B to clear the writeback

Commit f9ce0be71d1f ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") reworked the relevant code but ignored this race.  This will
cause the deadlock above to appear again, so fix it.
