Log:
  With the new-and-improved vm_fault_copy_entry() (r265843), we can always
  avoid soft page faults when adding write access to user wired entries in
  vm_map_protect().  Previously, we only avoided the soft page fault when
  the underlying pages were copy-on-write.  In other words, we avoided the
  pages faults that might sleep on page allocation, but not the trivial
  page faults to update the physical map.
