mm/hmm/mirror: mirror process address space on device with HMM helpers

This is a heterogeneous memory management (HMM) process address space
mirroring.  In a nutshell this provide an API to mirror process address
space on a device.  This boils down to keeping CPU and device page table
synchronize (we assume that both device and CPU are cache coherent like
PCIe device can be).

This patch provide a simple API for device driver to achieve address space
mirroring thus avoiding each device driver to grow its own CPU page table
walker and its own CPU page table synchronization mechanism.

This is useful for NVidia GPU >= Pascal, Mellanox IB >= mlx5 and more
hardware in the future.
