Subject: [PATCH RFC 04/12] mm: Introduce vma_pgtable_walk_{begin|end}()

Introduce per-vma begin()/end() helpers for pgtable walks.  This is a
preparation work to merge hugetlb pgtable walkers with generic mm.

The helpers need to be called before and after a pgtable walk, will start
to be needed if the pgtable walker code supports hugetlb pages.  It's a
hook point for any type of VMA, but for now only hugetlb uses it to
stablize the pgtable pages from getting away (due to possible pmd
unsharing).
