[PATCH v5 11/13] mm: userfaultfd: move_pages_pte() use pte_offset_map_rw_nolock()

In move_pages_pte(), we may modify the dst_pte and src_pte after acquiring
the ptl, so convert it to using pte_offset_map_rw_nolock(). But since we
will use pte_same() to detect the change of the pte entry, there is no
need to get pmdval, so just pass a dummy variable to it.
