mm: introduce VM_LOCKONFAULT

Browse Source 
The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings.  If only portions of the mapping will be used
this can incur a high penalty for locking.

For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
models as well).  For the security example, any application transacting in
data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc).

This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
faulted in.  The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED
and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED.  Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT
flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the
unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but
will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in.

Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of
the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer.  Prior to this patch it was used to
mean that the VMA for a fault was locked.  This means we need the new
FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA.  FOLL_POPULATE
will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of
VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set.
