[PATCH V5 1/7] mm: mmap: Allow for "high" userspace addresses

[Steve Capper <steve.capper@arm.com>]

This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are
optionally supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint
mechanism ("high" addr parameter to mmap).

Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to
their architectural versions of arch_get_unmapped_* functions. However,
on arm64 we use the generic versions of these functions.

Rather than duplicate the generic arch_get_unmapped_* implementations
for arm64, this patch instead introduces two architectural helper macros
and applies them to arch_get_unmapped_*:
 arch_get_mmap_end(addr) - get mmap upper limit depending on addr hint
 arch_get_mmap_base(addr, base) - get mmap_base depending on addr hint

If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default
to (TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural
changes to architectures that do not define them.

Changed in V4, added Catalin's reviewed by

Changed in V3, commit log cleared up, explanation given for why core
code change over just architectural change
