mm: add utility functions for ptdesc
Introduce utility functions setting the foundation for ptdescs. These
will also assist in the splitting out of ptdesc from struct page.
Functions that focus on the descriptor are prefixed with ptdesc_* while
functions that focus on the pagetable are prefixed with pagetable_*.
pagetable_alloc() is defined to allocate new ptdesc pages as compound
pages. This is to standardize ptdescs by allowing for one allocation and
one free function, in contrast to 2 allocation and 2 free functions.
