mm: Add a vm_special_mapping.fault() method

Browse Source 
Requiring special mappings to give a list of struct pages is
inflexible: it prevents sane use of IO memory in a special
mapping, it's inefficient (it requires arch code to initialize a
list of struct pages, and it requires the mm core to walk the
entire list just to figure out how long it is), and it prevents
arch code from doing anything fancy when a special mapping fault
occurs.

Add a .fault method as an alternative to filling in a .pages
array.
