Subject: [PATCH v3 14/22] x86/mm: enable page table sharing

Enable x86 support for handling page faults in an mshare region by
redirecting page faults to operate on the mshare mm_struct and vmas
contained in it.
Some permissions checks are done using vma flags in architecture-specfic
fault handling code so the actual vma needed to complete the handling
is acquired before calling handle_mm_fault(). Because of this an
ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSHARE config option is added.
