[PATCH 4/6] arm: mm: Enable RCU fast_gup

Activate the RCU fast_gup for ARM. We also need to force THP splits to
broadcast an IPI s.t. we block in the fast_gup page walker. As THP
splits are comparatively rare, this should not lead to a noticeable
performance degradation.

Some pre-requisite functions pud_write and pud_page are also added.
