madvise: use zap_page_range_single for madvise dontneed

This series addresses the issue first reported in [1], and fully described
in patch 2.  Patches 1 and 2 address the user visible issue and are tagged
for stable backports.

While exploring solutions to this issue, related problems with mmu
notification calls were discovered.  This is addressed in the patch
"hugetlb: remove duplicate mmu notifications:".  Since there are no user
visible effects, this third is not tagged for stable backports.

Previous discussions suggested further cleanup by removing the
routine zap_page_range.  This is possible because zap_page_range_single
is now exported, and all callers of zap_page_range pass ranges entirely
within a single vma.  This work will be done in a later patch so as not
to distract from this bug fix.

This patch (of 2):

Expose the routine zap_page_range_single to zap a range within a single
vma.  The madvise routine madvise_dontneed_single_vma can use this routine
as it explicitly operates on a single vma.  Also, update the mmu
notification range in zap_page_range_single to take hugetlb pmd sharing
into account.  This is required as MADV_DONTNEED supports hugetlb vmas.
