s390: KVM preparation: provide hook to enable pgstes in user pagetable
The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to reserve space in the page table: s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table. Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE. This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static. Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.
