Subject: [PATCH v2 01/14] mm: Batch-copy PTE ranges during fork()

Convert copy_pte_range() to copy a set of ptes in a batch. A given batch
maps a physically contiguous block of memory, all belonging to the same
folio, with the same permissions, and for shared mappings, the same
dirty state. This will likely improve performance by a tiny amount due
to batching the folio reference count management and calling set_ptes()
rather than making individual calls to set_pte_at().

However, the primary motivation for this change is to reduce the number
of tlb maintenance operations that the arm64 backend has to perform
during fork, as it is about to add transparent support for the
"contiguous bit" in its ptes. By write-protecting the parent using the
new ptep_set_wrprotects() (note the 's' at the end) function, the
backend can avoid having to unfold contig ranges of PTEs, which is
expensive, when all ptes in the range are being write-protected.
Similarly, by using set_ptes() rather than set_pte_at() to set up ptes
in the child, the backend does not need to fold a contiguous range once
they are all populated - they can be initially populated as a contiguous
range in the first place.

This change addresses the core-mm refactoring only, and introduces
ptep_set_wrprotects() with a default implementation that calls
ptep_set_wrprotect() for each pte in the range. A separate change will
implement ptep_set_wrprotects() in the arm64 backend to realize the
performance improvement as part of the work to enable contpte mappings.
