[PATCH 2/2] mm/hmm: Only set FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY for non-blocking

Don't set this flag by default in hmm_vma_do_fault. It is set
conditionally just a few lines below. Setting it unconditionally
can lead to handle_mm_fault doing a non-blocking fault, returning
-EBUSY and unlocking mmap_sem unexpectedly.
