[PATCH 2/2] mm/hugetlb: refactor subpage recording

[Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com>]

For a given hugepage backing a VA, there's a rather ineficient
loop which is solely responsible for storing subpages in the passed
pages/vmas array. For each subpage we check whether it's within
range or size of @pages and keep incrementing @pfn_offset and a couple
other variables per subpage iteration.

Simplify this logic and minimize ops per iteration to just
store the output page/vma. Instead of incrementing number of @refs
iteratively, we do it through a precalculation of @refs and having
only a tight loop for storing pinned subpages/vmas.

pinning consequently improves considerably, bringing us close to
{pin,get}_user_pages_fast:

 - 16G with 1G huge page size
 gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 10 -L -S -n 512 -w

 PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK: ~11k us -> ~4400 us
 PIN_FAST_BENCHMARK: ~3700 us
