mm/pgtable: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail

Make pte_offset_map() a wrapper for __pte_offset_map() (optionally outputs
pmdval), pte_offset_map_lock() a sparse __cond_lock wrapper for
__pte_offset_map_lock(): those __funcs added in mm/pgtable-generic.c.

__pte_offset_map() do pmdval validation (including pmd_clear_bad() when
pmd_bad()), returning NULL if pmdval is not for a page table. 
__pte_offset_map_lock() verify pmdval unchanged after getting the lock,
trying again if it changed.

No #ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE around them: that could be done to
cover the imminent case, but we expect to generalize it later, and it
makes a mess of where to do the pmd_bad() clearing.

Add pte_offset_map_nolock(): outputs ptl like pte_offset_map_lock(),
without actually taking the lock.  This will be preferred to open uses of
pte_lockptr(), because (when split ptlock is in page table's struct page)
it points to the right lock for the returned pte pointer, even if *pmd
gets changed racily afterwards.

Update corresponding Documentation.

Do not add the anticipated rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s yet:
they have to wait until all architectures are balancing pte_offset_map()s
with pte_unmap()s (as in the arch series posted earlier).  But comment
where they will go, so that it's easy to add them for experiments.  And
only when those are in place can transient racy failure cases be enabled. 
Add more safety for the PAE mismatched pmd_low pmd_high case at that time.
