hugetlbfs: handle pages higher order than MAX_ORDER

When working with hugepages, hugetlbfs assumes that those hugepages are
smaller than MAX_ORDER.  Specifically it assumes that the mem_map is
contigious and uses that to optimise access to the elements of the mem_map
that represent the hugepage.  Gigantic pages (such as 16GB pages on
powerpc) by definition are of greater order than MAX_ORDER (larger than
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES in size).  This means that we can no longer make use of
the buddy alloctor guarentees for the contiguity of the mem_map, which
ensures that the mem_map is at least contigious for maximmally aligned
areas of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages.

This patch adds new mem_map accessors and iterator helpers which handle
any discontiguity at MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundaries.  It then uses these to
implement gigantic page versions of copy_huge_page and clear_huge_page,
and to allow follow_hugetlb_page handle gigantic pages.
