[v3,13/25] mm/memory: Add vmf_insert_page_mkwrite()

Commit Message

Currently to map a DAX page the DAX driver calls vmf_insert_pfn. This
creates a special devmap PTE entry for the pfn but does not take a
reference on the underlying struct page for the mapping. This is
because DAX page refcounts are treated specially, as indicated by the
presence of a devmap entry.

To allow DAX page refcounts to be managed the same as normal page
refcounts introduce vmf_insert_page_mkwrite(). This will take a
reference on the underlying page much the same as vmf_insert_page,
except it also permits upgrading an existing mapping to be writable if
requested/possible.

Updates from v2:

 - Rename function to make not DAX specific

 - Split the insert_page_into_pte_locked() change into a separate
   patch.

Updates from v1:

 - Re-arrange code in insert_page_into_pte_locked() based on comments
   from Jan Kara.

 - Call mkdrity/mkyoung for the mkwrite case, also suggested by Jan.
