mm: do page fault accounting in handle_mm_fault

Patch series "mm: Page fault accounting cleanups", v5.

This is v5 of the pf accounting cleanup series.  It originates from Gerald
Schaefer's report on an issue a week ago regarding to incorrect page fault
accountings for retried page fault after commit 4064b9827063 ("mm: allow
VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times"):

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200610174811.44b94525@thinkpad/

What this series did:

  - Correct page fault accounting: we do accounting for a page fault
    (no matter whether it's from #PF handling, or gup, or anything else)
    only with the one that completed the fault.  For example, page fault
    retries should not be counted in page fault counters.  Same to the
    perf events.

  - Unify definition of PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS: currently this perf
    event is used in an adhoc way across different archs.

    Case (1): for many archs it's done at the entry of a page fault
    handler, so that it will also cover e.g.  errornous faults.

    Case (2): for some other archs, it is only accounted when the page
    fault is resolved successfully.

    Case (3): there're still quite some archs that have not enabled
    this perf event.

    Since this series will touch merely all the archs, we unify this
    perf event to always follow case (1), which is the one that makes most
    sense.  And since we moved the accounting into handle_mm_fault, the
    other two MAJ/MIN perf events are well taken care of naturally.

  - Unify definition of "major faults": the definition of "major
    fault" is slightly changed when used in accounting (not
    VM_FAULT_MAJOR).  More information in patch 1.

  - Always account the page fault onto the one that triggered the page
    fault.  This does not matter much for #PF handlings, but mostly for
    gup.  More information on this in patch 25.

Patchset layout:

Patch 1:     Introduced the accounting in handle_mm_fault(), not enabled.
Patch 2-23:  Enable the new accounting for arch #PF handlers one by one.
Patch 24:    Enable the new accounting for the rest outliers (gup, iommu, etc.)
Patch 25:    Cleanup GUP task_struct pointer since it's not needed any more

This patch (of 25):

This is a preparation patch to move page fault accountings into the
general code in handle_mm_fault().  This includes both the per task
flt_maj/flt_min counters, and the major/minor page fault perf events.  To
do this, the pt_regs pointer is passed into handle_mm_fault().

PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS should still be kept in per-arch page fault
handlers.

So far, all the pt_regs pointer that passed into handle_mm_fault() is
NULL, which means this patch should have no intented functional change.
