Subject: [PATCH resend mm,net-next 1/3] mm: Refactor insert_page to prepare for batched-lock insert.

From: Arjun Roy <arjunroy@...gle.com>

Add helper methods for vm_insert_page()/insert_page() to prepare for
vm_insert_pages(), which batch-inserts pages to reduce spinlock
operations when inserting multiple consecutive pages into the user
page table.

The intention of this patch-set is to reduce atomic ops for
tcp zerocopy receives, which normally hits the same spinlock multiple
times consecutively.
