[PATCH RFC 2/3] mm: Add a non-populating version of apply_to_page_range()

[Thomas Hellstrom]

For some tasks, like cleaning ptes it's desirable to operate on only
populated ptes. This avoids the overhead of page table memory allocation and
also avoids memory allocation errors.

Adds apply_to_pt_range() which, in addition to apply_to_page_range(),
optionally skips the populating step. Share code with apply_to_page_range().
