Optimize the contpte implementation to fix some of the exit/munmap/dontneed performance regression introduced by the initial contpte commit. Subsequent patches will solve it entirely. During exit(), munmap() or madvise(MADV_DONTNEED), mappings must be cleared. Previously this was done 1 PTE at a time. But the core-mm supports batched clear via the new [get_and_]clear_full_ptes() APIs. So let's implement those APIs and for fully covered contpte mappings, we no longer need to unfold the contpte. This significantly reduces unfolding operations, reducing the number of tlbis that must be issued.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
