[RFC v2 34/43] shmem: PKRAM: multithread preserving and restoring shmem pages

[Anthony Yznaga]

Improve performance by multithreading the work to preserve and restore
shmem pages.

When preserving pages each thread saves non-overlapping ranges of a file
to a pkram_obj until all pages are preserved.

When restoring pages each thread loads pages using a local pkram_access.
