mm: introduce find_dev_pagemap()

There are several scenarios where we need to retrieve and update
metadata associated with a given devm_memremap_pages() mapping, and the
only lookup key available is a pfn in the range:

1/ We want to augment vmemmap_populate() (called via arch_add_memory())
   to allocate memmap storage from pre-allocated pages reserved by the
   device driver.  At vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() time it grabs device pages
   rather than page allocator pages.  This is in support of
   devm_memremap_pages() mappings where the memmap is too large to fit in
   main memory (i.e. large persistent memory devices).

2/ Taking a reference against the mapping when inserting device pages
   into the address_space radix of a given inode.  This facilitates
   unmap_mapping_range() and truncate_inode_pages() operations when the
   driver is tearing down the mapping.

3/ get_user_pages() operations on ZONE_DEVICE memory require taking a
   reference against the mapping so that the driver teardown path can
   revoke and drain usage of device pages.
