Subject: x86/mm/pti: Add functions to clone kernel PMDs

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

commit 03f4424f348e8be95eb1bbeba09461cd7b867828 upstream.

Provide infrastructure to:

 - find a kernel PMD for a mapping which must be visible to user space for
   the entry/exit code to work.

 - walk an address range and share the kernel PMD with it.

This reuses a small part of the original KAISER patches to populate the
user space page table.

[ tglx: Made it universally usable so it can be used for any kind of shared
	mapping. Add a mechanism to clear specific bits in the user space
	visible PMD entry. Folded Andys simplifactions ]
