[v1,0/3] split vm_normal_pages for LRU and non-LRU handling

Message

DEVICE_COHERENT pages introduce a subtle distinction in the way
"normal" pages can be used by various callers throughout the kernel.
They behave like normal pages for purposes of mapping in CPU page
tables, and for COW. But they do not support LRU lists, NUMA
migration or THP. Therefore we split vm_normal_page into two
functions vm_normal_any_page and vm_normal_lru_page. The latter will
only return pages that can be put on an LRU list and that support
NUMA migration, KSM and THP.

HMM tests were added to selftest to excercise these changes with
device coherent pages. New test called hmm_cow_in_device, will test
pages marked as COW, allocated in device zone. Also, more
configurations were added into hmm_gup_test to test basic get
user pages and get user pages fast paths in device zone pages.

  mm: split vm_normal_pages for LRU and non-LRU handling
  tools: add more gup configs to hmm_gup selftests
  tools: add selftests to hmm for COW in device memory
