The fix in commit 0cbb4b4f ("userfaultfd: clear the
vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx if UFFD_EVENT_FORK fails") cleared the
vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx but kept userfaultfd flags in vma->vm_flags
that were copied from the parent process VMA.

As the result, there is an inconsistency between the values of
vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx.ctx and vma->vm_flags which triggers BUG_ON
in userfaultfd_release().

Clearing the uffd flags from vma->vm_flags in case of UFFD_EVENT_FORK
failure resolves the issue.
