The first two patches were previously reviewed but not yet merged.
These ones need to be merged first as the fourth patch depends on
the changes introduced in them and they also fix bugs seen in
very specific scenarios (running Qemu with hugetlb=on, blob=true
and rebooting guest VM).

The third patch introduces memfd_pin_user_pages() API and the fourth
patch shows how the udmabuf driver can make use of it to
longterm-pin the the pages. The last patch adds two new udmabuf
selftests to verify data coherency after potential page migration.

v2:
- Updated the first patch to include review feedback from David and
  Jason. The main change in this series is the allocation of page
  in the case of hugetlbfs if it is not found in the page cache.

v3:
- Made changes to include review feedback from David to improve the
  comments and readability of code
- Enclosed the hugepage alloc code with #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE

v4:
- Augmented the commit message of the udmabuf patch that uses
  pin_user_pages_fd()
- Added previously reviewed but unmerged udmabuf patches to this
  series

v5:
- Updated the patch that adds pin_user_pages_fd() to include feedback
  from David to handle simultaneous users trying to add a huge page
  to the mapping
- Replaced find_get_page_flags() with __filemap_get_folio() in the
  second and third patches to ensure that we only obtain head pages
  from the mapping

v6: (Christoph)
- Renamed the new API to memfd_pin_user_pages()
- Improved the page cache lookup efficiency by using
  filemap_get_folios_contig() which uses batches

This series is tested using following methods:
- Run the subtests added in the fifth patch
- Run Qemu (master) with the following options and a few additional
  patches to Spice:
  qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096m....
  -device virtio-gpu-pci,max_outputs=1,blob=true,xres=1920,yres=1080
  -spice port=3001,gl=on,disable-ticketing=on,preferred-codec=gstreamer:h264
  -object memory-backend-memfd,hugetlb=on,id=mem1,size=4096M
  -machine memory-backend=mem1
