mm: introduce find_dev_pagemap()
There are several scenarios where we need to retrieve and update
metadata associated with a given devm_memremap_pages() mapping, and the
only lookup key available is a pfn in the range:
1/ We want to augment vmemmap_populate() (called via arch_add_memory())
to allocate memmap storage from pre-allocated pages reserved by the
device driver. At vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() time it grabs device pages
rather than page allocator pages. This is in support of
devm_memremap_pages() mappings where the memmap is too large to fit in
main memory (i.e. large persistent memory devices).
2/ Taking a reference against the mapping when inserting device pages
into the address_space radix of a given inode. This facilitates
unmap_mapping_range() and truncate_inode_pages() operations when the
driver is tearing down the mapping.
3/ get_user_pages() operations on ZONE_DEVICE memory require taking a
reference against the mapping so that the driver teardown path can
revoke and drain usage of device pages.
