In CRIU, we need to be able to determine whether the page pinned by
io_uring is still present in the same range in the process VMA.
/proc/<pid>/pagemap gives us the PFN, hence using this helper we can
establish this mapping easily from the iterator side.

It is a simple wrapper over the in-kernel page_to_pfn helper, and
ensures the passed in pointer is a struct page PTR_TO_BTF_ID. This is
obtained from the bvec of io_uring_ubuf for the CRIU usecase.

Does this helper need to be gpl_only?
The typically guideline whether the same info can be retrieved from
userspace. If yes, no gpl is needed. Otherwe, it needs to be gpl.
I think it can already be obtained using /proc/<PID>/pagemap, so not needed.
Also, the helper is implemented in io_uring.c and the helper
is used by tracing programs. Maybe we can put the helper
in bpf_trace.c? The helper itself is not tied to io_uring, right?
Right, I'll move it outside CONFIG_IO_URING in v2. That's also why the build
failed on this patch.
