Michel Lespinasse 7d6787088d BACKPORT: FROMLIST: mm: enable speculative fault handling for supported file types. ...

Introduce vma_can_speculate(), which allows speculative handling for
VMAs mapping supported file types.

From do_handle_mm_fault(), speculative handling will follow through
__handle_mm_fault(), handle_pte_fault() and do_fault().

At this point, we expect speculative faults to continue through one of:
- do_read_fault(), fully implemented;
- do_cow_fault(), which might abort if missing anon vmas,
- do_shared_fault(), not implemented yet
  (would require ->page_mkwrite() changes).

vma_can_speculate() provides an early abort for the do_shared_fault() case,
limiting the time spent on trying that unimplemented case.

1. SPF_ATTEMPT_FILE is taken from https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210407014502.24091-36-michel@lespinasse.org/
since the patch posted upstream at the time had a different structure
with stats for anonymouse and file-backed pagefaults introduced in a
separate patch.
