mm: dynamically allocate page->ptl if it cannot be embedded to struct page
If split page table lock is in use, we embed the lock into struct page of table's page. We have to disable split lock, if spinlock_t is too big be to be embedded, like when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC enabled. This patch add support for dynamic allocation of split page table lock if we can't embed it to struct page. page->ptl is unsigned long now and we use it as spinlock_t if sizeof(spinlock_t) <= sizeof(long), otherwise it's pointer to spinlock_t. The spinlock_t allocated in pgtable_page_ctor() for PTE table and in pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() for PMD table. All other helpers converted to support dynamically allocated page->ptl.
