Subject: [PATCH v5 3/5] mm: Introduce page_needs_cow_for_dma() for deciding whether cow

We've got quite a few places (pte, pmd, pud) that explicitly checked against
whether we should break the cow right now during fork().  It's easier to
provide a helper, especially before we work the same thing on hugetlbfs.

Since we'll reference is_cow_mapping() in mm.h, move it there too.  Actually it
suites mm.h more since internal.h is mm/ only, but mm.h is exported to the
whole kernel.  With that we should expect another patch to use is_cow_mapping()
whenever we can across the kernel since we do use it quite a lot but it's
always done with raw code against VM_* flags.
