This series adds some more arch page table helper validation tests which
are related to core and advanced memory functions. This also creates a
documentation, enlisting expected semantics for all page table helpers as
suggested by Mike Rapoport previously (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/30/40).

There are many TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE and ARCH_HAS_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD
ifdefs scattered across the test. But consolidating all the fallback stubs
is not very straight forward because ARCH_HAS_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD is
not explicitly dependent on ARCH_HAS_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.

Tested on arm64, x86 platforms but only build tested on all other enabled
platforms through ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE i.e powerpc, arc, s390. The
following failure on arm64 still exists which was mentioned previously. It
will be fixed with the upcoming THP migration on arm64 enablement series.

WARNING .... mm/debug_vm_pgtable.c:860 debug_vm_pgtable+0x940/0xa54
WARN_ON(!pmd_present(pmd_mkinvalid(pmd_mkhuge(pmd))))

This series is based on v5.8-rc4.

Changes in V4:

- Replaced READ_ONCE() with ptep_get() while accessing PTE pointers per Christophe
- Fixed function argument alignments per Christophe
+Cc - Zi Yan, Gerald Schaefer, Christophe Leroy

The Cc list was not complete. Please do let me know if you could
not retrieve all the four patches of the series from the list.
