mm/arm64: support large pfn mappings
Support huge pfnmaps by using bit 56 (PTE_SPECIAL) for "special" on pmds/puds. Provide the pmd/pud helpers to set/get special bit. There's one more thing missing for arm64 which is the pxx_pgprot() for pmd/pud. Add them too, which is mostly the same as the pte version by dropping the pfn field. These helpers are essential to be used in the new follow_pfnmap*() API to report valid pgprot_t results. Note that arm64 doesn't yet support huge PUD yet, but it's still straightforward to provide the pud helpers that we need altogether. Only PMD helpers will make an immediate benefit until arm64 will support huge PUDs first in general (e.g. in THPs).
