powerpc/mm/iommu: allow migration of cma allocated pages during mm_iommu_do_alloc



The current code doesn't do page migration if the page allocated is a
compound page.  With HugeTLB migration support, we can end up allocating
hugetlb pages from CMA region.  Also, THP pages can be allocated from
CMA region.  This patch updates the code to handle compound pages
correctly.  The patch also switches to a single get_user_pages with the
right count, instead of doing one get_user_pages per page.  That avoids
reading page table multiple times.  This is done by using
get_user_pages_longterm, because that also takes care of DAX backed
pages.

DAX pages lifetime is dictated by file system rules and as such, we need
to make sure that we free these pages on operations like truncate and
punch hole.  If we have long term pin on these pages, which are mostly
return to userspace with elevated page count, the entity holding the
long term pin may not be aware of the fact that file got truncated and
the file system blocks possibly got reused.  That can result in
corruption.

The patch also converts the hpas member of mm_iommu_table_group_mem_t to
a union.  We use the same storage location to store pointers to struct
page.  We cannot update all the code path use struct page *, because we
access hpas in real mode and we can't do that struct page * to pfn
conversion in real mode.
