drm/i915/userptr: Probe existence of backing struct pages upon creation



Jason Ekstrand requested a more efficient method than userptr+set-domain
to determine if the userptr object was backed by a complete set of pages
upon creation. To be more efficient than simply populating the userptr
using get_user_pages() (as done by the call to set-domain or execbuf),
we can walk the tree of vm_area_struct and check for gaps or vma not
backed by struct page (VM_PFNMAP). The question is how to handle
VM_MIXEDMAP which may be either struct page or pfn backed...

With discrete we are going to drop support for set_domain(), so offering
a way to probe the pages, without having to resort to dummy batches has
been requested.

v2:
- add new query param for the PROBE flag, so userspace can easily
  check if the kernel supports it(Jason).
- use mmap_read_{lock, unlock}.
- add some kernel-doc.
v3:
- In the docs also mention that PROBE doesn't guarantee that the pages
  will remain valid by the time they are actually used(Tvrtko).
- Add a small comment for the hole finding logic(Jason).
- Move the param next to all the other params which just return true.
