[PATCH mm-unstable v9 00/31] Split ptdesc from struct page

The MM subsystem is trying to shrink struct page. This patchset
introduces a memory descriptor for page table tracking - struct ptdesc.
This patchset introduces ptdesc, splits ptdesc from struct page, and
converts many callers of page table constructor/destructors to use ptdescs.
Ptdesc is a foundation to further standardize page tables, and eventually
allow for dynamic allocation of page tables independent of struct page.
However, the use of pages for page table tracking is quite deeply
ingrained and varied across archictectures, so there is still a lot of
work to be done before that can happen.
This applies cleanly onto the current unstable after dropping v8 of this
series.
v9:
Fix build errors for NOMMU configs - trying to define ptdesc before
spinlock_t and struct page were defined.
Moved definition of struct ptdesc to include/linux/mm_types.h instead
include/linux/pgtable.h
