Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: introduce vm_ops->fault_nonblock()
The patch introduces new vm_ops callback ->fault_nonblock() and uses it
for mapping easy accessible pages around fault address.
On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->fault_nonblock(), we try to
map up to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES (32 at the moment) pages around page fault
address in hope to reduce number of minor page faults.
