mm: Provide address mask in struct follow_pfnmap_args

follow_pfnmap_start() walks the page table for a given address and
fills out the struct follow_pfnmap_args in pfnmap_args_setup().
The address mask of the page table level is already provided to this
latter function for calculating the pfn.  This address mask can also
be useful for the caller to determine the extent of the contiguous
mapping.

For example, vfio-pci now supports huge_fault for pfnmaps and is able
to insert pud and pmd mappings.  When we DMA map these pfnmaps, ex.
PCI MMIO BARs, we iterate follow_pfnmap_start() to get each pfn to test
for a contiguous pfn range.  Providing the mapping address mask allows
us to skip the extent of the mapping level.  Assuming a 1GB pud level
and 4KB page size, iterations are reduced by a factor of 256K.  In wall
clock time, mapping a 32GB PCI BAR is reduced from ~1s to <1ms.
