Now that we made sure that lockless walk of linux page table is mostly
limitted to current task(current->mm->pgdir) we can update the THP
update sequence to only send IPI to CPUs on which this task has run.
This helps in reducing the IPI overload on systems with large number
of CPUs.
WRT kvm even though kvm is walking page table with vpc->arch.pgdir,
it is done only on secondary CPUs and in that case we have primary CPU
added to task's mm cpumask. Sending an IPI to primary will force the
secondary to do a vm exit and hence this mm cpumask usage is safe
here.
WRT CAPI, we still end up walking linux page table with capi context
MM. For now the pte lookup serialization sends an IPI to all CPUs in
CPI is in use. We can further improve this by adding the CAPI
interrupt handling CPU to task mm cpumask. That will be done in a
later patch.

Currently even with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX we leave the __init text marked
executable after init, which is bad.
Add a hook to mark it NX (no-execute) before we free it, and implement
it for radix and hash.
Note that we use __init_end as the end address, not _einittext,
because overlaps_kernel_text() uses __init_end, because there are
additional executable sections other than .init.text between
__init_begin and __init_end.
Tested on radix and hash with:
0:mon> p $__init_begin
*** 400 exception occurred

Move the core logic into a helper, so we can use it for changing other
permissions.
We also change the logic to align start down, and end up. This means
calling the function with a range will expand that range to be at
least 1 mmu_linear_psize page in size. We need that so we can use it
on __init_begin ... __init_end which is not a full page in size.
This should always work for _stext/__init_begin, because we align
__init_begin to _stext + 16M in the linker script.

With hash we update the bolted pte to mark it read-only. We rely
on the MMU_FTR_KERNEL_RO to generate the correct permissions
for read-only text. The radix implementation just prints a warning
in this implementation

Add support for the devmap bit on PTEs and PMDs for PPC64 Book3S. This
is used to differentiate device backed memory from transparent huge
pages since they are handled in more or less the same manner by the core
mm code.

Update code that relied on sched.h including various MM types for them.
This will allow us to remove the <linux/mm_types.h> include from <linux/sched.h>.

Radix and hash MMU models support different page table sizes. Make
the #defines a variable so that existing code can work with variable
sizes.
Slice related code is only used by hash, so use hash constants there. We
will replicate some of the boundary conditions with resepct to TASK_SIZE
using radix values too. Right now we do boundary condition check using
hash constants.
Swapper pgdir size is initialized in asm code. We select the max pgd
size to keep it simple. For now we select hash pgdir. When adding radix
we will switch that to radix pgdir which is 64K.
BUILD_BUG_ON check which is removed is already done in hugepage_init()
using MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON().
