I was stress testing some backports and with high load, after some time, the latest version of the selftest showed some false positive in connection with the uffdio_copy_retry. This seems to fix it while still exercising -EEXIST in the background transfer once in a while. The fork child will quit after the last UFFDIO_COPY is run, so a repeated UFFDIO_COPY may not return -EEXIST. This change restricts the -EEXIST stress to the background transfer where the memory can't go away from under it. Also updated uffdio_zeropage, so the interface is consistent.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
