userfaultfd: hugetlbfs: UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_HUGETLBFS 

Userland developers asked to be notified immediately by the UFFDIO_API
ioctl if hugetlbfs missing mode is supported by userfaultfd in the
running kernel.  This avoids the need to run UFFDIO_REGISTER on a
hugetlbfs virtual memory range to find out.

* UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_HUGETLBFS means an UFFDIO_REGISTER

* hugetlbfs virtual memory ranges. Adding or not adding
* UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_HUGETLBFS to uffdio_api.features has
* no real functional effect after UFFDIO_API returns, but
* it's only useful for an initial feature set probe at
* UFFDIO_API time. There are two ways to use it:
*
* 1) by adding UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_HUGETLBFS to the
* uffdio_api.features before calling UFFDIO_API, an error
* will be returned by UFFDIO_API on a kernel without
* hugetlbfs missing support
*
* 2) the UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_HUGETLBFS can not be added in
* uffdio_api.features and instead it will be set by the
* kernel in the uffdio_api.features if the kernel supports
* it, so userland can later check if the feature flag is
* present in uffdio_api.features after UFFDIO_API
* succeeded.
