[PATCH v3 12/14] mm: Remove PFN_DEV, PFN_MAP, PFN_SPECIAL, PFN_SG_CHAIN and PFN_SG_LAST

The PFN_MAP flag is no longer used for anything, so remove it.
The PFN_SG_CHAIN and PFN_SG_LAST flags never appear to have been
used so also remove them. The last user of PFN_SPECIAL was removed
by 653d7825c149 ("dcssblk: mark DAX broken, remove FS_DAX_LIMITED
support").

Users of PFN_DEV were removed earlier in this series by "mm: Remove
remaining uses of PFN_DEV".

I'm now tempted to squash this change into the next one that removes
pfn_t entirely, but have left it as is on the basis that squashing is
easier than unsquashing if people think otherwise.

Changes since v2:

 - Squashed the PFN_DEV removal into this

Changes since v1:

 - Moved this later in series, after PFN_DEV has been removed. This
   should solve an issue reported by Marek[1] on RISC-V (and probably
   Loongarch and others where pte_devmap() didn't imply pte_special())
