mm/memory: move pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed() into memory.c

Patch series "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios", v2.

Currently, batched unmapping is supported if:

1) folio is a file folio, not belonging to uffd-wp VMA
2) folio is anonymous and not swapbacked (lazyfree), not belonging to
   uffd-wp VMA

So the cases which are not supported are

1) folio belonging to uffd-wp VMA
2) folio is anonymous and swapbacked

It is easy to see that this adds a lot of cognitive load while reading
try_to_unmap_one - we need to remember throughout whether nr_pages == 1 or
> 1.

The uffd-wp handling in try_to_unmap_one is regarding preserving the
uffd-wp state for file folios via pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed (for anon
folio, we handle that while constructing the swap pte).

Stop special casing on uffd-wp VMAs by simply adding batching support to
pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed.


This patch (of 3):

pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed() has grown too large for mm_inline.h.  Move
it to memory.c.

This helper is only used inside mm/, so declare it in mm/internal.h
instead of a public header.

While at it, convert the comment to kerneldoc and rename the local
arguments from pte/pteval to ptep/pte so the pointer and PTE value are
easier to distinguish.
