From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
Subject: mm: allow a NULL fn callback in apply_to_page_range

Besides calling the callback on each page, apply_to_page_range also has
the effect of pre-faulting all PTEs for the range.  To support callers
that only need the pre-faulting, make the callback optional.

Based on a patch from Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>.
