[PATCH v1 04/14] arm64/mm: ptep_get_and_clear(): New layer to manage contig bit

Create a new layer for the in-table PTE manipulation APIs. For now, The
existing API is prefixed with double underscore to become the
arch-private API and the public API is just a simple wrapper that calls
the private API.

The public API implementation will subsequently be used to transparently
manipulate the contiguous bit where appropriate. But since there are
already some contig-aware users (e.g. hugetlb, kernel mapper), we must
first ensure those users use the private API directly so that the future
contig-bit manipulations in the public API do not interfere with those
existing uses.

No behavioural changes intended.
