[PATCH 2/9] mm/huge_memory: Deposit a pgtable for DAX PMD faults when required

[Oliver O'Halloran <oohall@gmail.com>]

Although all architectures use a deposited page table for THP on anonymous VMAs
some architectures (s390 and powerpc) require the deposited storage even for
file backed VMAs due to quirks of their MMUs. This patch adds support for
depositing a table in DAX PMD fault handling path for archs that require it.
Other architectures should see no functional changes.
