migration/ram: Don't explicitly unprotect when unregistering uffd-wp

Browse Source 
When unregistering uffd-wp, older kernels before commit f369b07c86143
("mm/uffd:reset write protection when unregister with wp-mode") won't
clear the uffd-wp PTE bit. When re-registering uffd-wp, the previous
uffd-wp PTE bits would trigger again. With above commit, the kernel will
clear the uffd-wp PTE bits when unregistering itself.

Consequently, we'll clear the uffd-wp PTE bits now twice -- whereby we
don't care about clearing them at all: a new background snapshot will
re-register uffd-wp and re-protect all memory either way.

So let's skip the manual clearing of uffd-wp. If ever relevant, we
could clear conditionally in uffd_unregister_memory() -- we just need a
way to figure out more recent kernels.
