Revert "gup: document and work around "COW can break either way" issue"

This reverts commit 918f50807eccd63d482ef4cf778b1d2b416770a9.
the commit force COW to write model, which force COW breaking, and cause
page usage increase a lot. On upstream, commit 376a34efa ("mm/gup:
refactor and de-duplicate gup_fast() code") give another way to fix fork
secuirty issue of COW, and then revert the buggy commit by commit a308c71bf1
("mm/gup: Remove enfornced COW mechanism")
