mm/hmm: allow snapshot of the special zero page

If a device driver like nouveau tries to use hmm_range_fault() to access
the special shared zero page in system memory, hmm_range_fault() will
return -EFAULT and kill the process.

Allow hmm_range_fault() to return success (0) when the CPU pagetable entry
points to the special shared zero page.

page_to_pfn() and pfn_to_page() are defined on the zero page so just
handle it like any other page.
