arm64/mm: wire up PTE_CONT for user mappings

With the ptep API sufficiently refactored, we can now introduce a new
"contpte" API layer, which transparently manages the PTE_CONT bit for user
mappings.

In this initial implementation, only suitable batches of PTEs, set via
set_ptes(), are mapped with the PTE_CONT bit.  Any subsequent modification
of individual PTEs will cause an "unfold" operation to repaint the contpte
block as individual PTEs before performing the requested operation. 
While, a modification of a single PTE could cause the block of PTEs to
which it belongs to become eligible for "folding" into a contpte entry,
"folding" is not performed in this initial implementation due to the costs
of checking the requirements are met.  Due to this, contpte mappings will
degrade back to normal pte mappings over time if/when protections are
changed.  This will be solved in a future patch.

Since a contpte block only has a single access and dirty bit, the semantic
here changes slightly; when getting a pte (e.g.  ptep_get()) that is part
of a contpte mapping, the access and dirty information are pulled from the
block (so all ptes in the block return the same access/dirty info).  When
changing the access/dirty info on a pte (e.g.  ptep_set_access_flags())
that is part of a contpte mapping, this change will affect the whole
contpte block.  This is works fine in practice since we guarantee that
only a single folio is mapped by a contpte block, and the core-mm tracks
access/dirty information per folio.

In order for the public functions, which used to be pure inline, to
continue to be callable by modules, export all the contpte_* symbols that
are now called by those public inline functions.

The feature is enabled/disabled with the ARM64_CONTPTE Kconfig parameter
at build time.  It defaults to enabled as long as its dependency,
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is also enabled.  The core-mm depends upon
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE to be able to allocate large folios, so if its not
enabled, then there is no chance of meeting the physical contiguity
requirement for contpte mappings.
