On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size
hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb
(2M and 1G), but also CONT-PTE/PMD size(64K and 32M) if a 4K page size
specified.
So when looking up a CONT-PTE size hugetlb page by follow_page(), it
will use pte_offset_map_lock() to get the pte entry lock for the CONT-PTE
size hugetlb in follow_page_pte(). However this pte entry lock is incorrect
for the CONT-PTE size hugetlb, since we should use huge_pte_lock() to
get the correct lock, which is mm->page_table_lock.
That means the pte entry of the CONT-PTE size hugetlb under current
pte lock is unstable in follow_page_pte(), we can continue to migrate
or poison the pte entry of the CONT-PTE size hugetlb, which can cause
some potential race issues, and following pte_xxx() validation is also
unstable in follow_page_pte(), even though they are under the 'pte lock'.
Moreover we should use huge_ptep_get() to get the pte entry value of
the CONT-PTE size hugetlb, which already takes into account the subpages'
dirty or young bits in case we missed the dirty or young state of the
CONT-PTE size hugetlb.
To fix above issues, introducing a new helper follow_huge_pte() to look
up a CONT-PTE size hugetlb page, which uses huge_pte_lock() to get the
correct pte entry lock to make the pte entry stable, as well as
supporting non-present pte handling.
