Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle) 62c65fd740 mm: add mmap_action_map_kernel_pages[_full]() ...

A user can invoke mmap_action_map_kernel_pages() to specify that the
mapping should map kernel pages starting from desc->start of a specified
number of pages specified in an array.

In order to implement this, adjust mmap_action_prepare() to be able to
return an error code, as it makes sense to assert that the specified
parameters are valid as quickly as possible as well as updating the VMA
flags to include VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT as necessary.

This provides an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_insert_pages().  We
additionally update the existing vm_insert_pages() code to use
range_in_vma() and add a new range_in_vma_desc() helper function for the
mmap_prepare case, sharing the code between the two in range_is_subset().

We add both mmap_action_map_kernel_pages() and
mmap_action_map_kernel_pages_full() to allow for both partial and full VMA
mappings.

We update the documentation to reflect the new features.

Finally, we update the VMA tests accordingly to reflect the changes.
