[RFC 1/6] mm: Add a mechanism to track the current address of a special mapping

[Andy Lutomirski]

This adds code to record the start address of a special mapping in
mm->context.  Something like this is needed to enable arch code to
find the vdso or another special mapping if that mapping has been
mremapped.

CRIU remaps special mappings, so this isn't just hypothetical.

Most vdso-using architectures record the vdso address in mm->context
already.  Some of those are only doing it for arch_vma_name, which
is no longer necessary.  Others need it for real:

 - x86_32 (native and compat) need it for the sigreturn,
   rt_sigreturn, and sysenter return thunks.

 - ARM could, in principle, use this for to make its kuser helpers
   relocatable.  (I don't think it will, but it *could*.)

 - x86 may, in the near future, want to change vvar context, per-mm,
   in response to a prctl or other request.  This could, for
   example, be used to turn off RDTSC (using CR4.TSD) without
   crashing the target process.
