Add interfaces to set and clear soft dirty in hugetlb ptes.  Make
hugetlb interfaces needed for /proc clear_refs available outside
hugetlb.c.

arch/s390 has it's own version of most routines in asm-generic/hugetlb.h,
so add new routines there as well.

Indeed asm/hugetlb.h of s390 didn't include asm-generic/hugetlb.h as what was
normally done by asm/hugetlb.h of other archs.  Do you know why it's special?
E.g. huge_pte_wrprotect() of s390 version is actually the same of the default
version.

When I looked at the huge_pte_wrprotect() I also see that there seems to have
no real user of __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTE_WRPROTECT.  Not sure whether it can be
dropped.  My gut feeling is that s390 should also include asm-generic/hugetlb.h
but only redefine the helper only if necessary, since I see no point defining
the same helper multiple times.
I do not know why s390 is special in this way.  However, I did cc some s390
people and the list.  Perhaps they know?

Similar question here, only ppc defined __HAVE_ARCH_FLUSH_HUGETLB_TLB_RANGE, so
IIUC it means s390 should simply use the default version, and it'll be great if
we don't need to redefine it here.
Actually, your patch "mm/hugetlb: Move flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() into
hugetlb.h" makes this change unnecessary.  But, the question about ppc
remains.
