Hugepd is only used in PowerPC so far on 4K page size kernels where hash mmu is used. follow_page_mask() used to leverage hugetlb APIs to access hugepd entries. Teach follow_page_mask() itself on hugepd. With previous refactors on fast-gup gup_huge_pd(), most of the code can be leveraged. There's something not needed for follow page, for example, gup_hugepte() tries to detect pgtable entry change which will never happen with slow gup (which has the pgtable lock held), but that's not a problem to check. Since follow_page() always only fetch one page, set the end to "address + PAGE_SIZE" should suffice. We will still do the pgtable walk once for each hugetlb page by setting ctx->page_mask properly. One thing worth mentioning is that some level of pgtable's _bad() helper will report is_hugepd() entries as TRUE on Power8 hash MMUs. I think it at least applies to PUD on Power8 with 4K pgsize. It means feeding a hugepd entry to pud_bad() will report a false positive. Let's leave that for now because it can be arch-specific where I am a bit declined to touch. In this patch it's not a problem as long as hugepd is detected before any bad pgtable entries. To allow slow gup like follow_*_page() to access hugepd helpers, hugepd codes are moved to the top. Besides that, the helper record_subpages() will be used by either hugepd or fast-gup now. To avoid "unused function" warnings we must provide a "#ifdef" for it, unfortunately.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
