mm, dax, pmem: introduce {get|put}_dev_pagemap() for dax-gup
get_dev_page() enables paths like get_user_pages() to pin a dynamically mapped pfn-range (devm_memremap_pages()) while the resulting struct page objects are in use. Unlike get_page() it may fail if the device is, or is in the process of being, disabled. While the initial lookup of the range may be an expensive list walk, the result is cached to speed up subsequent lookups which are likely to be in the same mapped range. devm_memremap_pages() now requires a reference counter to be specified at init time. For pmem this means moving request_queue allocation into pmem_alloc() so the existing queue usage counter can track "device pages". ZONE_DEVICE pages always have an elevated count and will never be on an lru reclaim list. That space in 'struct page' can be redirected for other uses, but for safety introduce a poison value that will always trip __list_add() to assert. This allows half of the struct list_head storage to be reclaimed with some assurance to back up the assumption that the page count never goes to zero and a list_add() is never attempted.
