Subject: [PATCH] mm: extend prefault helpers to fault in more than PAGE_SIZE

drm/i915 wants to read/write more than one page in its fastpath
and hence needs to prefault more than PAGE_SIZE bytes.

I've checked the callsites and they all already clamp size when
calling fault_in_pages_* to the same as for the subsequent
__copy_to|from_user and hence don't rely on the implicit clamping
to PAGE_SIZE.

Also kill a copy&pasted spurious space in both functions while at it.
