userfaultfd: early return in dup_userfaultfd()

Browse source 
When vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx.ctx is NULL, vma->vm_flags should have
cleared __VM_UFFD_FLAGS. Therefore, there is no need to down_write or
clear the flag, which will affect fork performance. Fix this by
returning early if octx is NULL in dup_userfaultfd().

By applying this patch we can get a 1.3% performance improvement for
lmbench fork_prot. Results are as follows:
                   base      early return
Process fork+exit: 419.1106  413.4804
