Subject: [RFC PATCH 30/37] mm: enable speculative fault handling for supported file types.

Introduce vma_can_speculate(), which allows speculative handling for
VMAs mapping supported file types.

From do_handle_mm_fault(), speculative handling will follow through
__handle_mm_fault(), handle_pte_fault() and do_fault().

At this point, we expect speculative faults to continue through one of:
- do_read_fault(), fully implemented;
- do_cow_fault(), which might abort if missing anon vmas,
- do_shared_fault(), not implemented yet
(would require ->page_mkwrite() changes).

vma_can_speculate() provides an early abort for the do_shared_fault() case,
limiting the time spent on trying that unimplemented case.
