mm: Don't pin ZERO_PAGE in pin_user_pages()

[ Upstream commit c8070b78751955e59b42457b974bea4a4fe00187 ]

Make pin_user_pages*() leave a ZERO_PAGE unpinned if it extracts a pointer
to it from the page tables and make unpin_user_page*() correspondingly
ignore a ZERO_PAGE when unpinning.  We don't want to risk overrunning a
zero page's refcount as we're only allowed ~2 million pins on it -
something that userspace can conceivably trigger.

Add a pair of functions to test whether a page or a folio is a ZERO_PAGE.
