[RFC 05/18] pkernfs: add file mmap callback

Make the file data useable to userspace by adding mmap. That's all that
QEMU needs for guest RAM, so that's all be bother implementing for now.

When mmaping the file the VMA is marked as PFNMAP to indicate that there
are no struct pages for the memory in this VMA. Remap_pfn_range() is
used to actually populate the page tables. All PTEs are pre-faulted into
the pgtables at mmap time so that the pgtables are useable when this
virtual address range is given to VFIO's MAP_DMA.
