Lorenzo Stoakes bae0ba7c7c mm: add basic VMA flag operation helper functions
Now we have the mk_vma_flags() macro helper which permits easy
specification of any number of VMA flags, add helper functions which
operate with vma_flags_t parameters.

This patch provides vma_flags_test[_mask](), vma_flags_set[_mask]() and
vma_flags_clear[_mask]() respectively testing, setting and clearing flags
with the _mask variants accepting vma_flag_t parameters, and the non-mask
variants implemented as macros which accept a list of flags.

This allows us to trivially test/set/clear aggregate VMA flag values as
necessary, for instance:

	if (vma_flags_test(&flags, VMA_READ_BIT, VMA_WRITE_BIT))
		goto readwrite;

	vma_flags_set(&flags, VMA_READ_BIT, VMA_WRITE_BIT);

	vma_flags_clear(&flags, VMA_READ_BIT, VMA_WRITE_BIT);

We also add a function for testing that ALL flags are set for convenience,
e.g.:

	if (vma_flags_test_all(&flags, VMA_READ_BIT, VMA_MAYREAD_BIT)) {
		/* Both READ and MAYREAD flags set */
		...
	}

The compiler generates optimal assembly for each such that they behave as
if the caller were setting the bitmap flags manually.

This is important for e.g.  drivers which manipulate flag values rather
than a VMA's specific flag values.

We also add helpers for testing, setting and clearing flags for VMA's and
VMA descriptors to reduce boilerplate.

Also add the EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS define to aid initialisation of empty flags.

Finally, update the userland VMA tests to add the helpers there so they
can be utilised as part of userland testing.
