mm/mremap: refactor move_page_tables(), abstracting state
A lot of state is threaded throughout the page table moving logic within the mremap code, including boolean values which control behaviour specifically in regard to whether rmap locks need be held over the operation and whether the VMA belongs to a temporary stack being moved by move_arg_pages() (and consequently, relocate_vma_down()). As we already transmit state throughout this operation, it is neater and more readable to maintain a small state object. We do so in the form of pagetable_move_control. In addition, this allows us to update parameters within the state as we manipulate things, for instance with regard to the page table realignment logic. In future I want to add additional functionality to the page table logic, so this is an additional motivation for making it easier to do so. This patch changes move_page_tables() to accept a pointer to a pagetable_move_control struct, and performs changes at this level only. Further page table logic will be updated in a subsequent patch. We additionally also take the opportunity to add significant comments describing the address realignment logic to make it abundantly clear what is going on in this code.
