vfio/type1: optimize vfio_unpin_pages_remote()

Browse source 
When vfio_unpin_pages_remote() is called with a range of addresses that
includes large folios, the function currently performs individual
put_pfn() operations for each page. This can lead to significant
performance overheads, especially when dealing with large ranges of pages.

It would be very rare for reserved PFNs and non reserved will to be mixed
within the same range. So this patch utilizes the has_rsvd variable
introduced in the previous patch to determine whether batch put_pfn()
operations can be performed. Moreover, compared to put_pfn(),
unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() is capable of handling large folio
scenarios more efficiently.

The performance test results for completing the 16G VFIO IOMMU DMA
unmapping are as follows.

Base(v6.16):
------- AVERAGE (MADV_HUGEPAGE) --------
VFIO UNMAP DMA in 0.141 s (113.7 GB/s)
------- AVERAGE (MAP_POPULATE) --------
VFIO UNMAP DMA in 0.307 s (52.2 GB/s)
------- AVERAGE (HUGETLBFS) --------
VFIO UNMAP DMA in 0.135 s (118.6 GB/s)

With this patchset:
------- AVERAGE (MADV_HUGEPAGE) --------
VFIO UNMAP DMA in 0.044 s (363.2 GB/s)
------- AVERAGE (MAP_POPULATE) --------
VFIO UNMAP DMA in 0.289 s (55.3 GB/s)
------- AVERAGE (HUGETLBFS) --------
VFIO UNMAP DMA in 0.044 s (361.3 GB/s)

For large folio, we achieve an over 67% performance improvement in
the VFIO UNMAP DMA item. For small folios, the performance test
results appear to show a slight improvement.
