nouveau/svm: implement atomic SVM access

Some NVIDIA GPUs do not support direct atomic access to system memory via
PCIe.  Instead this must be emulated by granting the GPU exclusive access
to the memory.  This is achieved by replacing CPU page table entries with
special swap entries that fault on userspace access.

The driver then grants the GPU permission to update the page undergoing
atomic access via the GPU page tables.  When CPU access to the page is
required a CPU fault is raised which calls into the device driver via MMU
notifiers to revoke the atomic access.  The original page table entries
are then restored allowing CPU access to proceed.
