[PATCH V4 2/6] arm: mm: Introduce special ptes for LPAE

[steve.capper@linaro.org (Steve Capper)]

We need a mechanism to tag ptes as being special, this indicates that
no attempt should be made to access the underlying struct page *
associated with the pte. This is used by the fast_gup when operating on
ptes as it has no means to access VMAs (that also contain this
information) locklessly.

The L_PTE_SPECIAL bit is already allocated for LPAE, this patch modifies
pte_special and pte_mkspecial to make use of it, and defines
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL.

This patch also excludes special ptes from the icache/dcache sync logic.
