x86/mm: Introduce lookup_address_in_mm()
Add a helper, lookup_address_in_mm(), to traverse the page tables of a given mm struct. KVM will use the helper to retrieve the host mapping level, e.g. 4k vs. 2mb vs. 1gb, of a compound (or DAX-backed) page without having to resort to implementation specific metadata. E.g. KVM currently uses different logic for HugeTLB vs. THP, and would add a third variant for DAX-backed files.
