The new attribute indicates that the kernel copies DMA pages on fork,
hence libibverbs' fork support through madvise and MADV_DONTFORK is not
needed.
The introduced attribute is always reported as supported since the
kernel has the patch that added the copy-on-fork behavior. This allows
the userspace library to identify older vs newer kernel versions.
Extra care should be taken when backporting this patch as it relies on
the fact that the copy-on-fork patch is merged, hence no check for
support is added.
Don't backport this patch unless you also have the following series:
70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork() for ptes")
and 4eae4efa2c29 ("hugetlb: do early cow when page pinned on src mm").
Fixes: 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork() for ptes")
Fixes: 4eae4efa2c29 ("hugetlb: do early cow when page pinned on src mm")

Nit, it is good to write here that we don't check nla_put_u8() on purpose.
