[PATCH v10 01/13] mm, hugetlbfs: Allow for "high" userspace addresses

This is a complement of f6795053dac8 ("mm: mmap: Allow for "high"
userspace addresses") for hugetlb.

This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are
optionally supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint
mechanism ("high" addr parameter to mmap).

Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to
their architectural versions of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() function.
However, arm64 uses the generic version of that function.

So take into account arch_get_mmap_base() and arch_get_mmap_end() in
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area(). To allow that, move those two macros
out of mm/mmap.c into include/linux/sched/mm.h

If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default
to (TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural
changes to architectures that do not define them.

For the time being, only ARM64 is affected by this change.

>From Catalin (ARM64):
  We should have fixed hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() as well when we
added support for 52-bit VA. The reason for commit f6795053dac8 was to
prevent normal mmap() from returning addresses above 48-bit by default
as some user-space had hard assumptions about this.

It's a slight ABI change if you do this for hugetlb_get_unmapped_area()
but I doubt anyone would notice. It's more likely that the current
behaviour would cause issues, so I'd rather have them consistent.

v10:
- Moved as first patch of the series so that it can be applied
separately as a flag and be easily applied back on stable.
- Added text from Catalin explaining why it is a fixup.
