[PATCH v11 0/8] Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap

[Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com>]

This updates the vm_area_struct support to use the approach we discussed
at LPC where there are several different Rust wrappers for
vm_area_struct depending on the kind of access you have to the vma. Each
case allows a different set of operations on the vma.

Patch 8 in particular could use review.

Changes in v11:
- Add accessor for the vm_mm field of vm_area_struct.
- Pass the file to MiscDevice::mmap for consistency with
  https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241210-miscdevice-file-param-v3-1-b2a79b666dc5@google.com
- Link to v10: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241129-vma-v10-0-4dfff05ba927@google.com

Changes in v10:
- Update docs for `set_io`.
- Check address in `zap_page_range_single`.
- Completely redo the last patch.
- Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241122-vma-v9-0-7127bfcdd54e@google.com

Changes in v9:
- Be more explicit about VmAreaNew being used with f_ops->mmap().
- Point out that clearing VM_MAYWRITE is irreversible.
- Use __vm_flags to set the flags.

  can be used.
- Get rid of mmap write lock because it's possible to avoid the need for
  it.
