The net/9p networking driver has a handy macro to calculate the
amount of bytes from a given pointer to the end of page. Move it
to core/mm, and apply tree-wide. No functional changes intended.

This series was originally introduced as a single patch #07/12 in:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260219181407.290201-1-ynorov@nvidia.com/ (local)

Split it for better granularity and submit separately.
I don't get what the motivation is here. Another helper developers
and readers of the code will need to know about just to replace 
obvious and easy to comprehend math.
I fully agree, I had the same thought reading this.
+1 from KVM-land.
