mm: add pte_batch_hint() to reduce scanning in folio_pte_batch()
Some architectures (e.g. arm64) can tell from looking at a pte, if some
follow-on ptes also map contiguous physical memory with the same pgprot.
(for arm64, these are contpte mappings).
Take advantage of this knowledge to optimize folio_pte_batch() so that it
can skip these ptes when scanning to create a batch. By default, if an
arch does not opt-in, folio_pte_batch() returns a compile-time 1, so the
changes are optimized out and the behaviour is as before.
arm64 will opt-in to providing this hint in the next patch, which will
greatly reduce the cost of ptep_get() when scanning a range of contptes.
