Subject: [PATCH v3 00/12] mm/debug_vm_pgtable: Enhancements

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

Changelog
=========
v3:
   * Fix the warning caused by allocating more pages than
     (1 << (MAX_ORDER - 1)) in init_args()                       (syzbot)
   * Fix build warning by dropping unused variables in separate
     patches                                                     (0-day)
   * Missed "WARN_ON(!pud_none(pud))" in pud_huge_tests() in
     PATCH[v2 09/12]                                             (0-day)
   * Fix the subjects for PATCH[05/12] and PATCH[09/12]          (Gavin)
v2:
   * Rename struct vm_pgtable_debug to struct pgtable_debug_args.
     The parameter name to various test functions are renamed
     to "@args"                                                  (Anshuman)
   * Code changes as suggested by Anshuman                       (Anshuman)
