mm/vma: add vma_flags_empty(), vma_flags_and(), vma_flags_diff_pair()

Patch series "mm/vma: convert vm_flags_t to vma_flags_t in vma code", v4.

This series converts a lot of the existing use of the legacy vm_flags_t
data type to the new vma_flags_t type which replaces it.

In order to do so it adds a number of additional helpers:

* vma_flags_empty() - Determines whether a vma_flags_t value has no bits
  set.

* vma_flags_and() - Performs a bitwise AND between two vma_flags_t values.

* vma_flags_diff_pair() - Determines which flags are not shared between a
  pair of VMA flags (typically non-constant values)

* append_vma_flags() - Similar to mk_vma_flags(), but allows a vma_flags_t
  value to be specified (typically a constant value) which will be copied
  and appended to to create a new vma_flags_t value, with additional flags
  specified to append to it.

* vma_flags_same() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is exactly equal to
  a set of VMA flags.

* vma_flags_same_mask() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is eactly equal
  to another vma_flags_t value (typically constant).

* vma_flags_same_pair() - Determines if a pair of vma_flags_t values are
  exactly equal to one another (typically both non-constant).

* vma_flags_to_legacy() - Converts a vma_flags_t value to a vm_flags_t
  value, used to enable more iterative introduction of the use of
  vma_flags_t.

* legacy_to_vma_flags() - Converts a vm_flags_t value to a vma_flags-t
  value, for the same purpose.

* vma_flags_test_single_mask() - Tests whether a vma_flags_t value contain
  the single flag specified in an input vma_flags_t flag mask, or if that
  flag mask is empty, is defined to return false. Useful for
  config-predicated VMA flag mask defines.

* vma_test() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain a specific singular VMA
  flag.

* vma_test_any() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of a set of VMA
  flags.

* vma_test_any_mask() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of the
  flags specified in another, typically constant, vma_flags_t value.

* vma_test_single_mask() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain the single
  flag specified in an input vma_flags_t flag mask, or if that flag mask is
  empty, is defined to return false. Useful for config-predicated VMA flag
  mask defines.

* vma_clear_flags() - Clears a specific set of VMA flags from a vma_flags_t
  value.

* vma_clear_flags_mask() - Clears those flag set in a vma_flags_t value
  (typically constant) from a (typically not constant) vma_flags_t value.

The series mostly focuses on the the VMA specific code, especially that
contained in mm/vma.c and mm/vma.h.

It updates both brk() and mmap() logic to utils vma_flags_t values as much
as is practiaclly possible at this point, changing surrounding logic to be
able to do so.

It also updates the vma_modify_xxx() functions where they interact with VMA
flags directly to use vm_flags_t values where possible.

There is extensive testing added in the VMA userland tests to assert that
all of these new VMA flag functions work correctly.


This patch (of 25):

Firstly, add the ability to determine if VMA flags are empty, that is no
flags are set in a vma_flags_t value.

Next, add the ability to obtain the equivalent of the bitwise and of two
vma_flags_t values, via vma_flags_and_mask().

Next, add the ability to obtain the difference between two sets of VMA
flags, that is the equivalent to the exclusive bitwise OR of the two sets
of flags, via vma_flags_diff_pair().

vma_flags_xxx_mask() typically operates on a pointer to a vma_flags_t
value, which is assumed to be an lvalue of some kind (such as a field in a
struct or a stack variable) and an rvalue of some kind (typically a
constant set of VMA flags obtained e.g.  via mk_vma_flags() or
equivalent).

However vma_flags_diff_pair() is intended to operate on two lvalues, so
use the _pair() suffix to make this clear.

Finally, update VMA userland tests to add these helpers.

We also port bitmap_xor() and __bitmap_xor() to the tools/ headers and
source to allow the tests to work with vma_flags_diff_pair().
