Ralph Campbell ac541f2503 mm/hmm: allow snapshot of the special zero page
If a device driver like nouveau tries to use hmm_range_fault() to access
the special shared zero page in system memory, hmm_range_fault() will
return -EFAULT and kill the process.

Allow hmm_range_fault() to return success (0) when the CPU pagetable entry
points to the special shared zero page.

page_to_pfn() and pfn_to_page() are defined on the zero page so just
handle it like any other page.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
