drm/ttm: Add a generic TTM memcpy move for page-based iomem



The internal ttm_bo_util memcpy uses ioremap functionality, and while it
probably might be possible to use it for copying in- and out of
sglist represented io memory, using io_mem_reserve() / io_mem_free()
callbacks, that would cause problems with fault().
Instead, implement a method mapping page-by-page using kmap_local()
semantics. As an additional benefit we then avoid the occasional global
TLB flushes of ioremap() and consuming ioremap space, elimination of a
critical point of failure and with a slight change of semantics we could
also push the memcpy out async for testing and async driver development
purposes.

A special linear iomem iterator is introduced internally to mimic the
old ioremap behaviour for code-paths that can't immediately be ported
over. This adds to the code size and should be considered a temporary
solution.

Looking at the code we have a lot of checks for iomap tagged pointers.
Ideally we should extend the core memremap functions to also accept
uncached memory and kmap_local functionality. Then we could strip a
lot of code.
