Subject: [PATCH 01/13] arm64: mm: Add p?d_large() definitions

From: James Morse <james.morse@....com>

Exposing the pud/pgd levels of the page tables to walk_page_range() means
we may come across the exotic large mappings that come with large areas
of contiguous memory (such as the kernel's linear map).

Expose p?d_large() from each architecture to detect these large mappings.

arm64 already has these macros defined, but with a different name.
p?d_large() is used by s390, sparc and x86. Only arm/arm64 use p?d_sect().
Add a macro to allow both names.

By not providing a pgd_large(), we get the generic version that always
returns 0.
