Subject: [PATCH v4 03/16] mm: Batch-clear PTE ranges during zap_pte_range()

Convert zap_pte_range() to copy a batch of ptes in one go. A given batch
is determined by the architecture (see pte_batch_remaining()), and maps
a physically contiguous block of memory, all belonging to the same
folio. A pte batch is cleared using the new helper, clear_ptes().

The primary motivation for this change is to reduce the number of tlb
maintenance operations that the arm64 backend has to perform during exit
and other syscalls that cause zap_pte_range() (e.g. munmap,
madvise(DONTNEED), etc.), as it is about to add transparent support for
the "contiguous bit" in its ptes. By clearing ptes using the new
clear_ptes() API, the backend doesn't have to perform an expensive
unfold operation when a PTE being cleared is part of a contpte block.
Instead it can just clear the whole block immediately.

This code is very performance sensitive, and a significant amount of
effort has been put into not regressing performance for the order-0
folio case. By default, pte_batch_remaining() always returns 1, which
enables the compiler to simplify the extra loops that are added for
batching and produce code that is equivalent (and equally performant) as
the previous implementation.

This change addresses the core-mm refactoring only, and introduces
clear_ptes() with a default implementation that calls
ptep_get_and_clear_full() for each pte in the range. Note that this API
returns the pte at the beginning of the batch, but with the dirty and
young bits set if ANY of the ptes in the cleared batch had those bits
set; this information is applied to the folio by the core-mm. Given the
batch is guaranteed to cover only a single folio, collapsing this state
does not lose any useful information.

A separate change will implement clear_ptes() in the arm64 backend to
realize the performance improvement as part of the work to enable
contpte mappings.

The following microbenchmark results demonstate that there is no
madvise(dontneed) performance regression (and actually an improvement in
some cases) after this patch. madvise(dontneed) is called for each page
of a 1G populated mapping and the total time is measured. 100 iterations
per run, 8 runs performed on both Apple M2 (VM) and Ampere Altra (bare
metal). Tests performed for case where 1G memory is comprised of order-0
folios and case where comprised of pte-mapped order-9 folios. Negative
is faster, positive is slower, compared to baseline upon which the
series is based:

| Apple M2 VM   | order-0 (pte-map) | order-9 (pte-map) |
| dontneed      |-------------------|-------------------|
| microbench    |    mean |   stdev |    mean |   stdev |
|---------------|---------|---------|---------|---------|
| baseline      |    0.0% |    7.5% |    0.0% |    7.9% |
| after-change  |   -9.6% |    3.1% |   -4.9% |    8.1% |

| Ampere Altra  | order-0 (pte-map) | order-9 (pte-map) |
| dontneed      |-------------------|-------------------|
| microbench    |    mean |   stdev |    mean |   stdev |
|---------------|---------|---------|---------|---------|
| baseline      |    0.0% |    0.1% |    0.0% |    0.0% |
| after-change  |   -0.2% |    0.1% |   -0.1% |    0.0% |

The following microbenchmark results demonstate that there is no munmap
performance regression (and actually an improvement in some cases) after
this patch. munmap is called for a 1G populated mapping and the time to
execute the function is measured. 100 iterations per run, 8 runs
performed on both Apple M2 (VM) and Ampere Altra (bare metal). Tests
performed for case where 1G memory is comprised of order-0 folios and
case where comprised of pte-mapped order-9 folios. Negative is faster,
positive is slower, compared to baseline upon which the series is based:

| munmap        |-------------------|-------------------|
| microbench    |    mean |   stdev |    mean |   stdev |
|---------------|---------|---------|---------|---------|
| baseline      |    0.0% |    3.8% |    0.0% |    6.4% |
| after-change  |   -1.9% |    0.2% |   -4.7% |    0.8% |
