Subject: [RFC PATCH] mm: Add helpers for locked_vm

This adds 2 helpers to change the locked_vm counter:
- try_increase_locked_vm - may fail if new locked_vm value will be greater
than the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit;
- decrease_locked_vm.

These will be used by drivers capable of locking memory by userspace
request. For example, VFIO can use it to check if it can lock DMA memory
or PPC-KVM can use it to check if it can lock memory for TCE tables.
