arm64/mm: implement pte_batch_hint()

When core code iterates over a range of ptes and calls ptep_get() for each
of them, if the range happens to cover contpte mappings, the number of pte
reads becomes amplified by a factor of the number of PTEs in a contpte
block.  This is because for each call to ptep_get(), the implementation
must read all of the ptes in the contpte block to which it belongs to
gather the access and dirty bits.

This causes a hotspot for fork(), as well as operations that unmap memory
such as munmap(), exit and madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).  Fortunately we can fix
this by implementing pte_batch_hint() which allows their iterators to skip
getting the contpte tail ptes when gathering the batch of ptes to operate
on.  This results in the number of PTE reads returning to 1 per pte.
