[PATCH 03/13] kernfs: add support for get_unmapped_area callback

From: Hou Tao <houtao1 at huawei.com>

kernfs has already support ->mmap callback, however it doesn't support
->get_unmapped_area callback to return PMD-aligned or PUD-aligned
virtual address. The following patch will need it to support compound
page for p2pdma device memory, therefore add the necessary support for it.

When the ->get_unmapped_area callback is not defined in kernfs_ops or
the callback returns -EOPNOTSUPP, kernfs_get_unmapped_area() will
fallback to mm_get_unmapped_area().
