[RFC PATCH 1/2] mm/ptshare: Add vm flag for shared PTE

[Khalid Aziz]

Add a bit to vm_flags to indicate a vma shares PTEs with others. Add
a function to determine if a vma shares PTE by checking this flag.
This is to be used to find the shared page table entries on page fault
for vmas sharing PTE.
