Subject: userfaultfd/hugetlbfs: avoid including userfaultfd_k.h in hugetlb.h

Patch series "userfaultfd: add minor fault handling for shmem", v6.

Overview
========

See the series which added minor faults for hugetlbfs [3] for a detailed
overview of minor fault handling in general.  This series adds the same
support for shmem-backed areas.

This series is structured as follows:

- Commits 1 and 2 are cleanups.
- Commits 3 and 4 implement the new feature (minor fault handling for shmem).
- Commit 5 advertises that the feature is now available since at this point it's
  fully implemented.
- Commit 6 is a final cleanup, modifying an existing code path to re-use a new
  helper we've introduced.
- Commits 7, 8, 9, 10 update the userfaultfd selftest to exercise the feature.

Use Case
========

In some cases it is useful to have VM memory backed by tmpfs instead of
hugetlbfs.  So, this feature will be used to support the same VM live
migration use case described in my original series.

Additionally, Android folks (Lokesh Gidra <lokeshgidra@google.com>) hope
to optimize the Android Runtime garbage collector using this feature:

"The plan is to use userfaultfd for concurrently compacting the heap. 
With this feature, the heap can be shared-mapped at another location where
the GC-thread(s) could continue the compaction operation without the need
to invoke userfault ioctl(UFFDIO_COPY) each time.  OTOH, if and when Java
threads get faults on the heap, UFFDIO_CONTINUE can be used to resume
execution.  Furthermore, this feature enables updating references in the
'non-moving' portion of the heap efficiently.  Without this feature,
uneccessary page copying (ioctl(UFFDIO_COPY)) would be required."

This patch (of 10):

Minimizing header file inclusion is desirable.  In this case, we can do so
just by forward declaring the enumeration our signature relies upon.
