[RESEND RFC V2] ARM: mm: make UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY huge page aware

Resending, as I ommitted a few important CC's.

The memory pinning code in uaccess_with_memcpy.c does not check
for HugeTLB or THP pmds, and will enter an infinite loop should
a __copy_to_user or __clear_user occur against a huge page.
This patch adds detection code for huge pages to pin_page_for_write.
As this code can be executed in a fast path it refers to the actual
pmds rather than the vma. If a HugeTLB or THP is found (they have
the same pmd representation on ARM), the page table spinlock is
taken to prevent modification whilst the page is pinned.
On ARM, huge pages are only represented as pmds, thus no huge pud
checks are performed. (For huge puds one would lock the page table
in a similar manner as in the pmd case).
Two helper functions are introduced; pmd_thp_or_huge will check
whether or not a page is huge or transparent huge (which have the
same pmd layout on ARM), and pmd_hugewillfault will detect whether
or not a page fault will occur on write to the page.
Changes since first RFC:
* The page mask is widened for hugepages to reduce the number
of potential locks/unlocks.
(A knobbled /dev/zero with its latency reduction chunks
removed shows a 2x data rate boost with hugepages backing:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=10M count=1024 )
