CVE-2025-21881: uprobes: Reject the shared zeropage in uprobe_write_opcode()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

uprobes: Reject the shared zeropage in uprobe_write_opcode()

We triggered the following crash in syzkaller tests:

The cause is that zero pfn is set to the PTE without increasing the RSS
count in mfill_atomic_pte_zeropage() and the refcount of zero folio does
not increase accordingly. Then, the operation on the same pfn is performed
in uprobe_write_opcode()->__replace_page() to unconditional decrease the
RSS count and old_folio's refcount.

Therefore, two bugs are introduced:

 1. The RSS count is incorrect, when process exit, the check_mm() report
    error "Bad rss-count".

 2. The reserved folio (zero folio) is freed when folio->refcount is zero,
    then free_pages_prepare->free_page_is_bad() report error
    "Bad page state".

There is more, the following warning could also theoretically be triggered:

  __replace_page()
    -> ...
      -> folio_remove_rmap_pte()
        -> VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(is_zero_folio(folio), folio)

Considering that uprobe hit on the zero folio is a very rare case, just
reject zero old folio immediately after get_user_page_vma_remote().
