[PATCH] drm/ttm: Do not put non-struct page memory into PUD/PMDs

PUD and PMD entries do not have a special bit.

get_user_pages_fast() considers any page that passed pmd_huge() as
usable:

		if (unlikely(pmd_trans_huge(pmd) || pmd_huge(pmd) ||
			     pmd_devmap(pmd))) {

And vmf_insert_pfn_pmd_prot() unconditionally sets

	entry = pmd_mkhuge(pfn_t_pmd(pfn, prot));

eg on x86 the page will be _PAGE_PRESENT | PAGE_PSE.

As such gup_huge_pmd() will try to deref a struct page:

	head = try_grab_compound_head(pmd_page(orig), refs, flags);

and thus crash.

Prevent this by never using IO memory with vmf_insert_pfn_pud/pmd_prot().

AFAICT only the vmwgfx driver makes use of this, and I can't tell which path
it is taking.

This function will also try to install a PUD - does vmwgfx have a case where
it has obtained a 1GB high order page - or is that dead code now?
