Subject: [PATCH RFC 01/10] mm: Add pmd support for _PAGE_SPECIAL

Currently vmf_insert_pfn_pmd only works with devmap
and BUG_ON otherwise. Add support for handling
page special when pfn_t has it marked with PFN_SPECIAL.

Usage of page special aren't expected to do GUP
hence return no pages on gup_huge_pmd() much like how
it is done for ptes on gup_pte_range().

This allows a DAX driver to handle 2M hugepages without
struct pages.
