get_user_pages_fast helps app's launching time because it could reduce
mmap_sem lock contentions when app is launching.

Minchan posted a RFC patch and patch v1 [1] in 2018 and currently he has no
bandwidth to rework this patch, so I rebase Minchan's patch
(arm: support get_user_pages_fast) and modify the patch according
to Catalin's comment and re-post this patch.

First, to use generic get_user_pages_fast code, use strict mm type in
pgtable-2level-types.

2nd patch: reorder memory type table to use 5th bit of the page table

3rd patch: introduces L_PTE_SPECIAL for arm so that last patch can
support get_user_pags_fast.

4th patch: remove L_PTE_MT_VECTORS and use read-only type.

Change since v1:
* modify comment
* remove L_PTE_MT_VECTORS and use read-only type 

Change since RFC:
* Remove CPU_v7M - Catalin
* define DEV_NONSHARED to SHARED - Catalin
