Subject: mm/filemap: return only head pages from find_get_entries
All callers now expect head (and base) pages, and can handle multiple head
pages in a single batch, so make find_get_entries() behave that way. Also
take the opportunity to make it use the pagevec infrastructure instead of
open-coding how pvecs behave. This has the side-effect of being able to
append to a pagevec with existing contents, although we don't make use of
that functionality anywhere yet.
