We've got quite a few places (pte, pmd, pud) that explicitly checked against whether we should break the cow right now during fork(). It's easier to provide a helper, especially before we work the same thing on hugetlbfs. Since we'll reference is_cow_mapping() in mm.h, move it there too. Actually it suites mm.h more since internal.h is mm/ only, but mm.h is exported to the whole kernel. With that we should expect another patch to use is_cow_mapping() whenever we can across the kernel since we do use it quite a lot but it's always done with raw code against VM_* flags.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
