Add apply_to_page_range() which applies a function to a pte range

Add a new mm function apply_to_page_range() which applies a given function to
every pte in a given virtual address range in a given mm structure.  This is a
generic alternative to cut-and-pasting the Linux idiomatic pagetable walking
code in every place that a sequence of PTEs must be accessed.

Although this interface is intended to be useful in a wide range of
situations, it is currently used specifically by several Xen subsystems, for
example: to ensure that pagetables have been allocated for a virtual address
range, and to construct batched special pagetable update requests to map I/O
memory (in ioremap()).
