[PATCH RFC v2 11/18] mm: skip zeroing in vma_alloc_zeroed_movable_folio for pre-zeroed pages

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

Use vma_alloc_folio_hints() and check PGHINT_ZEROED to skip
clear_user_highpage() when the page is already zeroed.

On x86, vma_alloc_zeroed_movable_folio is overridden by a macro
that uses __GFP_ZERO directly, so this change has no effect there.
