Subject: mm: introduce pte_advance_pfn() and use for pte_next_pfn()
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 10:31:50 +0000

The goal is to be able to advance a PTE by an arbitrary number of PFNs. 
So introduce a new API that takes a nr param.  Define the default
implementation here and allow for architectures to override. 
pte_next_pfn() becomes a wrapper around pte_advance_pfn().

Follow up commits will convert each overriding architecture's
pte_next_pfn() to pte_advance_pfn().
