Peter Zijlstra d16dfc550f mm: mmu_gather rework
Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure.

The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather,
but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the
status quo.

The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure.  For review
purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of
those a generic cleanup.

The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup
is a patch converting s390 to use this.  I've also got 4 patches from
DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement
gup_fast() for sparc64.

Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching.

After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm
a lot more preemptible.  It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to
mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather
preemptible as well.

Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code.

This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I
think wants.

Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex.

This patch:

Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather.

The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption
disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches.  Change this to
try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small
on-stack array to make some progress.

Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock
becomes a mutex.  Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from
having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the
pte_lock.

Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is
useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces
pte lock hold times.
