There are couple of issues with current implementations and this series
tries to resolve the issues:

  (a) All needed information are scattered in variables, passed to various
      test functions. The code is organized in pretty much relaxed fashion.

  (b) The page isn't allocated from buddy during page table entry modifying
      tests. The page can be invalid, conflicting to the implementations
      of set_{pud, pmd, pte}_at() on ARM64. The target page is accessed
      so that the iCache can be flushed when execution permission is given
      on ARM64. Besides, the target page can be unmapped and access to
      it causes kernel crash.

"struct vm_pgtable_debug" is introduced to address issue (a). For issue
(b), the used page is allocated from buddy in page table entry modifying
tests. The corresponding tets will be skipped if we fail to allocate the
(huge) page. For other test cases, the original page around to kernel
symbol (@start_kernel) is still used.

The patches are organized as below. PATCH[2-10] could be combined to one
patch, but it will make the review harder:

  PATCH[1] introduces "struct vm_pgtable_debug" as place holder of all
           needed information. With it, the old and new implementation
           can coexist.
  PATCH[2-10] uses "struct vm_pgtable_debug" in various test functions.
  PATCH[11] removes the old implementation.
  PATCH[12] fixes the issue of corrupted page flag for ARM64
