VM: add "vm_insert_page()" function

This is what a lot of drivers will actually want to use to insert
individual pages into a user VMA.  It doesn't have the old PageReserved
restrictions of remap_pfn_range(), and it doesn't complain about partial
remappings.

The page you insert needs to be a nice clean kernel allocation, so you
can't insert arbitrary page mappings with this, but that's not what
people want.
