[RFC v2 03/10] mm: Add a range parameter to the vm_fault structure

[Laurent Dufour <ldufour@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

When handling a page fault, it happens that the mmap_sem is released
during the processing. As moving to range lock requires to pass the
range parameter to the lock/unlock operation, this patch add a pointer
to the range structure used when locking the mmap_sem to vm_fault
structure.
