[PATCH v1 11/11] mm/gup: grab head page refcount once for group of subpages

Much like hugetlbfs or THPs, treat device pagemaps with
compound pages like the rest of GUP handling of compound pages.

Rather than incrementing the refcount every 4K, we record
all sub pages and increment by @refs amount *once*.

Performance measured by gup_benchmark improves considerably
get_user_pages_fast() and pin_user_pages_fast() with NVDIMMs:

$ gup_test -f /dev/dax1.0 -m 16384 -r 10 -S [-u,-a] -n 512 -w
(get_user_pages_fast 2M pages) ~59 ms -> ~6.1 ms
(pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) ~87 ms -> ~6.2 ms
[altmap]
(get_user_pages_fast 2M pages) ~494 ms -> ~9 ms
(pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) ~494 ms -> ~10 ms

$ gup_test -f /dev/dax1.0 -m 129022 -r 10 -S [-u,-a] -n 512 -w
(get_user_pages_fast 2M pages) ~492 ms -> ~49 ms
(pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) ~493 ms -> ~50 ms
[altmap with -m 127004]
(get_user_pages_fast 2M pages) ~3.91 sec -> ~70 ms
(pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) ~3.97 sec -> ~74 ms
