From: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com>
Subject: mm/hugetlb: refactor subpage recording

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

Simplify this logic and minimize the cost of each iteration to just store
the output page/vma.  Instead of incrementing number of @refs iteratively,
we do it through pre-calculation of @refs and only with a tight loop for
storing pinned subpages/vmas.

Additionally, retain existing behaviour with using mem_map_offset() when
recording the subpages for configurations that don't have a contiguous
mem_map.

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

  - 16G with 1G huge page size
  gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 30 -L -S -n 512 -w
