[PATCH v2 02/11] asm-generic/pgtable: Adds dummy functions to monitor lockless pgtable walks

[Leonardo Bras <leonardo@linux.ibm.com>]

There is a need to monitor lockless pagetable walks, in order to avoid
doing THP splitting/collapsing during them.

Some methods rely on local_irq_{save,restore}, but that can be slow on
cases with a lot of cpus are used for the process.

In order to speedup these cases, I propose a refcount-based approach, that
counts the number of lockless pagetable	walks happening on the process.

Given that there are lockless pagetable walks on generic code, it's
necessary to create dummy functions for archs that won't use the approach.
