Summary

We do not hold the object lock or a page busy lock when copying src_m's
validity state. Prior to commit 45d72c7d7fca we marked dst_m as fully
valid.

Use the source object's read lock to ensure that valid bits are not
concurrently cleared.

Noticed during code inspection.

Fixes: 45d72c7d7fca ("vm_fault_copy_entry: accept invalid source pages.")
