I cleaned up this patch [1] but I realised it still doesn't solve it.
The arm64 __copy_to_user_inatomic(), while ensuring progress if called
in a loop, it does not guarantee precise copy to the fault position. The
copy_to_sk(), after returning an error, starts again from the previous
sizeof(sh) boundary rather than from where the __copy_to_user_inatomic()
stopped. So it can get stuck attempting to copy the same search header.

An ugly fix is to fall back to byte by byte copying so that we can
attempt the actual fault address in fault_in_pages_writeable().

If the sh being recreated in copy_to_sk() is the same on the retried
iteration, we could use an *sk_offset that is not a multiple of
sizeof(sh) in order to have progress. But it's not clear to me whether
the data being copied can change once btrfs_release_path() is called.
