Subject: mm, hugetlb: allow for "high" userspace addresses

This is a fix for commit f6795053dac8 ("mm: mmap: Allow for "high"
userspace addresses") for hugetlb.

This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are optionally
supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint mechanism
("high" addr parameter to mmap).

Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to
their architectural versions of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() function. 
However, arm64 uses the generic version of that function.

So take into account arch_get_mmap_base() and arch_get_mmap_end() in
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().  To allow that, move those two macros out of
mm/mmap.c into include/linux/sched/mm.h

If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default to
(TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural changes to
architectures that do not define them.

For the time being, only ARM64 is affected by this change.

Catalin (ARM64) said

: We should have fixed hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() as well when we added
: support for 52-bit VA.  The reason for commit f6795053dac8 was to prevent
: normal mmap() from returning addresses above 48-bit by default as some
: user-space had hard assumptions about this.
: 
: It's a slight ABI change if you do this for hugetlb_get_unmapped_area()
: but I doubt anyone would notice.  It's more likely that the current
: behaviour would cause issues, so I'd rather have them consistent.
