mm: implement split page table lock for PMD level
The basic idea is the same as with PTE level: the lock is embedded into
struct page of table's page.
We can't use mm->pmd_huge_pte to store pgtables for THP, since we don't
take mm->page_table_lock anymore. Let's reuse page->lru of table's page
for that.
pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() returns true, if initialization is successful
and false otherwise. Current implementation never fails, but assumption
that constructor can fail will help to port it to -rt where spinlock_t
is rather huge and cannot be embedded into struct page -- dynamic
allocation is required.
