mm/hmm: improve and rename hmm_vma_fault() to hmm_range_fault()

Minor optimization around hmm_pte_need_fault().  Rename for consistency
between code, comments and documentation.  Also improves the comments on
all the possible returns values.  Improve the function by returning the
number of populated entries in pfns array.

@ -190,13 +190,7 @@ When the device driver wants to populate a range of virtual addresses, it can
use either::
long hmm_range_snapshot(struct hmm_range *range);
int hmm_vma_fault(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
struct hmm_range *range,
unsigned long start,
unsigned long end,
hmm_pfn_t *pfns,
bool write,
bool block);
long hmm_range_fault(struct hmm_range *range, bool block);
The first one (hmm_range_snapshot()) will only fetch present CPU page table
entries and will not trigger a page fault on missing or non-present entries.
