Subject: [PATCH net] vhost: don't use kmap() to log dirty pages

Vhost log dirty pages directly to a userspace bitmap through GUP and
kmap_atomic() since kernel doesn't have a set_bit_to_user()
helper. This will cause issues for the arch that has virtually tagged
caches. The way to fix is to keep using userspace virtual
address. Fortunately, futex has arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() which
could be used for setting a bit to user.

Note there're several cases that futex helper can fail e.g a page
fault or the arch that doesn't have the support. For those cases, a
simplified get_user()/put_user() pair protected by a global mutex is
provided as a fallback. The fallback may lead false positive that
userspace may see more dirty pages.

Changes from RFC V2:
- drop GUP and provide get_user()/put_user() fallbacks
- round down log_base
Changes from RFC V1:
- switch to use arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser()
