[PATCH v7 2/4] mm: introduce new flag to indicate wc safe

[<ankita@nvidia.com>]

From: Ankit Agrawal <ankita@nvidia.com>

Generalizing S2 setting from DEVICE_nGnRE to NormalNc for non PCI
devices may be problematic. E.g. GICv2 vCPU interface, which is
effectively a shared peripheral, can allow a guest to affect another
guest's interrupt distribution. The issue may be solved by limiting
the relaxation to mappings that have a user VMA. Still there is
insufficient information and uncertainity in the behavior of
non PCI drivers.

Add a new flag VM_ALLOW_ANY_UNCACHED to indicate KVM that the device
is WC capable and these S2 changes can be extended to it. KVM can use
this flag to activate the code.
