mm,fs,dax: change ->pmd_fault to ->huge_fault

Patch series "1G transparent hugepage support for device dax", v2.

The following series implements support for 1G trasparent hugepage on
x86 for device dax.  The bulk of the code was written by Mathew Wilcox a
while back supporting transparent 1G hugepage for fs DAX.  I have
forward ported the relevant bits to 4.10-rc.  The current submission has
only the necessary code to support device DAX.

Comments from Dan Williams: So the motivation and intended user of this
functionality mirrors the motivation and users of 1GB page support in
hugetlbfs.  Given expected capacities of persistent memory devices an
in-memory database may want to reduce tlb pressure beyond what they can
already achieve with 2MB mappings of a device-dax file.  We have
customer feedback to that effect as Willy mentioned in his previous
version of these patches [1].

Comments from Nilesh @ Oracle:

There are applications which have a process model; and if you assume
10,000 processes attempting to mmap all the 6TB memory available on a
server; we are looking at the following:

processes         : 10,000
memory            :    6TB
pte @ 4k page size: 8 bytes / 4K of memory * #processes = 6TB / 4k * 8 * 10000 = 1.5GB * 80000 = 120,000GB
pmd @ 2M page size: 120,000 / 512 = ~240GB
pud @ 1G page size: 240GB / 512 = ~480MB

As you can see with 2M pages, this system will use up an exorbitant
amount of DRAM to hold the page tables; but the 1G pages finally brings
it down to a reasonable level.  Memory sizes will keep increasing; so
this number will keep increasing.

An argument can be made to convert the applications from process model
to thread model, but in the real world that may not be always practical.
Hopefully this helps explain the use case where this is valuable.

This patch (of 3):

In preparation for adding the ability to handle PUD pages, convert
vm_operations_struct.pmd_fault to vm_operations_struct.huge_fault.  The
vm_fault structure is extended to include a union of the different page
table pointers that may be needed, and three flag bits are reserved to
indicate which type of pointer is in the union.
