userfaultfd: move userfaultfd_ctx struct to header file
Patch series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd", v7. Performing userfaultfd operations (like copy/move etc.) in critical section of mmap_lock (read-mode) causes significant contention on the lock when operations requiring the lock in write-mode are taking place concurrently. We can use per-vma locks instead to significantly reduce the contention issue. Android runtime's Garbage Collector uses userfaultfd for concurrent compaction. mmap-lock contention during compaction potentially causes jittery experience for the user. During one such reproducible scenario, we observed the following improvements with this patch-set: - Wall clock time of compaction phase came down from ~3s to <500ms - Uninterruptible sleep time (across all threads in the process) was ~10ms (none in mmap_lock) during compaction, instead of >20s This patch (of 4): Move the struct to userfaultfd_k.h to be accessible from mm/userfaultfd.c. There are no other changes in the struct. This is required to prepare for using per-vma locks in userfaultfd operations.
