3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Peter Feiner <[email protected]> commit dbab31aa2ceec2d201966fa0b552f151310ba5f4 upstream. This fixes the same bug as b43790eedd31 ("mm: softdirty: don't forget to save file map softdiry bit on unmap") and 9aed8614af5a ("mm/memory.c: don't forget to set softdirty on file mapped fault") where the return value of pte_*mksoft_dirty was being ignored. To be sure that no other pte/pmd "mk" function return values were being ignored, I annotated the functions in arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h with __must_check and rebuilt. The userspace effect of this bug is that the softdirty mark might be lost if a file mapped pte get zapped.
