mm: change page type prior to adding page table entry 

Patch series "page table check", v3.

Ensure that some memory corruptions are prevented by checking at the
time of insertion of entries into user page tables that there is no
illegal sharing.

We have recently found a problem [1] that existed in kernel since 4.14.
The problem was caused by broken page ref count and led to memory
leaking from one process into another.  The problem was accidentally
detected by studying a dump of one process and noticing that one page
contains memory that should not belong to this process.

There are some other page->_refcount related problems that were recently
fixed: [2], [3] which potentially could also lead to illegal sharing.

In addition to hardening refcount [4] itself, this work is an attempt to
prevent this class of memory corruption issues.

It uses a simple state machine that is independent from regular MM logic
to check for illegal sharing at time pages are inserted and removed from
page tables.

This patch (of 4):

There are a few places where we first update the entry in the user page
table, and later change the struct page to indicate that this is
anonymous or file page.

In most places, however, we first configure the page metadata and then
insert entries into the page table.  Page table check, will use the
information from struct page to verify the type of entry is inserted.

Change the order in all places to first update struct page, and later to
update page table.

This means that we first do calls that may change the type of page (anon
or file):

	page_move_anon_rmap
	page_add_anon_rmap
	do_page_add_anon_rmap
	page_add_new_anon_rmap
	page_add_file_rmap
	hugepage_add_anon_rmap
	hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap

And after that do calls that add entries to the page table:

	set_huge_pte_at
	set_pte_at
