[4/5] mm: Provide page mask in struct follow_pfnmap_args

Commit Message

follow_pfnmap_start() walks the page table for a given address and
fills out the struct follow_pfnmap_args in pfnmap_args_setup().
The page mask of the page table level is already provided to this
latter function for calculating the pfn.  This page mask can also be
useful for the caller to determine the extent of the contiguous
mapping.

For example, vfio-pci now supports huge_fault for pfnmaps and is able
to insert pud and pmd mappings.  When we DMA map these pfnmaps, ex.
PCI MMIO BARs, we iterate follow_pfnmap_start() to get each pfn to test
for a contiguous pfn range.  Providing the mapping page mask allows us
to skip the extent of the mapping level.  Assuming a 1GB pud level and
4KB page size, iterations are reduced by a factor of 256K.  In wall
clock time, mapping a 32GB PCI BAR is reduced from ~1s to <1ms.
