mm: convert pXd_devmap checks to vma_is_dax

Patch series "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type", v3.

All users of dax now require a ZONE_DEVICE page which is properly
refcounted.  This means there is no longer any need for the PFN_DEV,
PFN_MAP and PFN_SPECIAL flags.  Furthermore the PFN_SG_CHAIN and
PFN_SG_LAST flags never appear to have been used.  It is therefore
possible to remove the pfn_t type and replace any usage with raw pfns.

The remaining users of PFN_DEV have simply passed this to
vmf_insert_mixed() to create pte_devmap() mappings.  It is unclear why
this was the case but presumably to ensure vm_normal_page() does not
return these pages.  These users can be trivially converted to raw pfns
and creating a pXX_special() mapping to ensure vm_normal_page() still
doesn't return these pages.

Now that there are no users of PFN_DEV we can remove the devmap page table
bit and all associated functions and macros, freeing up a software page
table bit.


This patch (of 14):

Currently dax is the only user of pmd and pud mapped ZONE_DEVICE pages. 
Therefore page walkers that want to exclude DAX pages can check pmd_devmap
or pud_devmap.  However soon dax will no longer set PFN_DEV, meaning dax
pages are mapped as normal pages.

Ensure page walkers that currently use pXd_devmap to skip DAX pages
continue to do so by adding explicit checks of the VMA instead.

Remove vma_is_dax() check from mm/userfaultfd.c as validate_move_areas()
will already skip DAX VMA's on account of them not being anonymous.

The check in userfaultfd_must_wait() is also redundant as
vma_can_userfault() should have already filtered out dax vma's.

For HMM the pud_devmap check seems unnecessary as there is no reason we
shouldn't be able to handle any leaf PUD here so remove it also.
