mm, proc: reduce cost of /proc/pid/smaps for unpopulated shmem mappings
Following the previous patch, further reduction of /proc/pid/smaps cost is possible for private writable shmem mappings with unpopulated areas where the page walk invokes the .pte_hole function. We can use radix tree iterator for each such area instead of calling find_get_entry() in a loop. This is possible at the extra maintenance cost of introducing another shmem function shmem_partial_swap_usage(). To demonstrate the diference, I have measured this on a process that creates a private writable 2GB mapping of a partially swapped out /dev/shm/file (which cannot employ the optimizations from the prvious patch) and doesn't populate it at all. I time how long does it take to cat /proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times. Before this patch: real 0m3.831s user 0m0.180s sys 0m3.212s After this patch: real 0m1.176s user 0m0.180s sys 0m0.684s The time is similar to the case where a radix tree iterator is employed on the whole mapping.
