[PATCH v2 07/11] mm/hmm: add default fault flags to avoid the need to pre-fill pfns arrays.

[jglisse@xxxxxxxxxx]

From: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@xxxxxxxxxx>

The HMM mirror API can be use in two fashions. The first one where the HMM
user coalesce multiple page faults into one request and set flags per pfns
for of those faults. The second one where the HMM user want to pre-fault a
range with specific flags. For the latter one it is a waste to have the user
pre-fill the pfn arrays with a default flags value.

This patch adds a default flags value allowing user to set them for a range
without having to pre-fill the pfn array.
