[PATCH v5 0/5] Enable THP support in drm_pagemap

Use Balbir Singh's series for device-private THP support [1] and previous
preparation work in drm_pagemap [2] to add 2MB/THP support in xe. This leads
to significant performance improvements when using SVM with 2MB pages.

[2] https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/151754/

v2:
- rebase on top of multi-device SVM
- add drm_pagemap_cpages() with temporary patch
- address other feedback from Matt Brost on v1

v3:
The major change is to remove the dependency to the mm/huge_memory
helper migrate_device_split_page() that was called explicitely when
a 2M buddy allocation backed by a large folio would be later reused
for a smaller allocation (4K or 64K). Instead, the first 3 patches
provided by Matthew Brost ensure large folios are split at the time
of freeing.

v4:
- add order argument to folio_free callback
- send complete series to linux-mm and MM folks as requested (Zi Yan
and Andrew Morton) and cover letter to anyone receiving at least
one of the patches (Liam R. Howlett)

v5:
- update zone_device_page_init() in patch #1 to reinitialize large
zone device private folios
