Linus Torvalds fec88ab0af HMM patches for 5.3
Improvements and bug fixes for the hmm interface in the kernel:
 
 - Improve clarity, locking and APIs related to the 'hmm mirror' feature
   merged last cycle. In linux-next we now see AMDGPU and nouveau to be
   using this API.
 
 - Remove old or transitional hmm APIs. These are hold overs from the past
   with no users, or APIs that existed only to manage cross tree conflicts.
   There are still a few more of these cleanups that didn't make the merge
   window cut off.
 
 - Improve some core mm APIs:
   * export alloc_pages_vma() for driver use
   * refactor into devm_request_free_mem_region() to manage
     DEVICE_PRIVATE resource reservations
   * refactor duplicative driver code into the core dev_pagemap
     struct
 
 - Remove hmm wrappers of improved core mm APIs, instead have drivers use
   the simplified API directly
 
 - Remove DEVICE_PUBLIC
 
 - Simplify the kconfig flow for the hmm users and core code
