[PATCH v4 04/17] mm/rmap: split page_dup_rmap() into page_dup_file_rmap() and page_try_dup_anon_rmap()

... and move the special check for pinned pages into
page_try_dup_anon_rmap() to prepare for tracking exclusive anonymous
pages via a new pageflag, clearing it only after making sure that there
are no GUP pins on the anonymous page.

We really only care about pins on anonymous pages, because they are
prone to getting replaced in the COW handler once mapped R/O. For !anon
pages in cow-mappings (!VM_SHARED && VM_MAYWRITE) we shouldn't really
care about that, at least not that I could come up with an example.

Let's drop the is_cow_mapping() check from page_needs_cow_for_dma(), as we
know we're dealing with anonymous pages. Also, drop the handling of
pinned pages from copy_huge_pud() and add a comment if ever supporting
anonymous pages on the PUD level.

This is a preparation for tracking exclusivity of anonymous pages in
the rmap code, and disallowing marking a page shared (-> failing to
duplicate) if there are GUP pins on a page.
