mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP
Let's implement PTE batching when consecutive (present) PTEs map consecutive pages of the same large folio, and all other PTE bits besides the PFNs are equal. We will optimize folio_pte_batch() separately, to ignore selected PTE bits. This patch is based on work by Ryan Roberts. Use __always_inline for __copy_present_ptes() and keep the handling for single PTEs completely separate from the multi-PTE case: we really want the compiler to optimize for the single-PTE case with small folios, to not degrade performance. Note that PTE batching will never exceed a single page table and will always stay within VMA boundaries. Further, processing PTE-mapped THP that maybe pinned and have PageAnonExclusive set on at least one subpage should work as expected, but there is room for improvement: We will repeatedly (1) detect a PTE batch (2) detect that we have to copy a page (3) fall back and allocate a single page to copy a single page. For now we won't care as pinned pages are a corner case, and we should rather look into maintaining only a single PageAnonExclusive bit for large folios.
