This patchset adds Svrsw60t59b [1] extension support, also soft dirty and userfaultfd
write protect tracking for RISC-V.

This patchset has been tested with kselftest mm suite in which soft-dirty, 
madv_populate, test_unmerge_uffd_wp, and uffd-unit-tests run and pass,
and no regressions are observed in any of the other tests.

This patchset applies on top of v6.16-rc1.

V8:
- Rebase on v6.16-rc1;
- Add dependencies to MMU && 64BIT for RISCV_ISA_SVRSW60T59B;
- Use 'Svrsw60t59b' instead of 'SVRSW60T59B' in Kconfig help paragraph;
- Add Alex's Reviewed-by tag in patch 1.

V7: (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250409095320.224100-1-zhangchunyan@iscas.ac.cn/)
- Add Svrsw60t59b [1] extension support;
- Have soft-dirty and uffd-wp depending on the Svrsw60t59b extension to
  avoid crashes for the hardware which don't have this extension.

V6:
- Changes to use bits 59-60 which are supported by extension Svrsw60t59b
  for soft dirty and userfaultfd write protect tracking.

V5:
- Fixed typos and corrected some words in Kconfig and commit message;
- Removed pte_wrprotect() from pte_swp_mkuffd_wp(), this is a copy-paste
  error;
- Added Alex's Reviewed-by tag in patch 2.

V4:
- Added bit(4) descriptions into "Format of swap PTE".

V3:
- Fixed the issue reported by kernel test irobot <lkp at intel.com>.

V1 -> V2:
- Add uffd-wp supported;
- Make soft-dirty uffd-wp and devmap mutually exclusive which all use
  the same PTE bit;
- Add test results of CRIU in the cover-letter.
