highmem: introduce clear_user_highpages()

Define clear_user_highpages() which uses the range clearing primitive,
clear_user_pages().  We can safely use this when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is
disabled and if the architecture does not have clear_user_highpage.

The first is needed to ensure that contiguous page ranges stay contiguous
which precludes intermediate maps via HIGMEM.  The second, because if the
architecture has clear_user_highpage(), it likely needs flushing magic
when clearing the page, magic that we aren't privy to.

For both of those cases, just fallback to a loop around
clear_user_highpage().
