mm/mmu_notifier: pass down vma and reasons why mmu notifier is happening
CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration, ...). Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening This patch is just passing down the new informations by adding it to the mmu_notifier_range structure.
