mm/gup: add a range variant of unpin_user_pages_dirty_lock()

Add an unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() API which takes a starting page
and how many consecutive pages we want to unpin and optionally dirty.

To that end, define another iterator for_each_compound_range() that
operates in page ranges as opposed to page array.

For users (like RDMA mr_dereg) where each sg represents a contiguous set
of pages, we're able to more efficiently unpin pages without having to
supply an array of pages much of what happens today with
unpin_user_pages().
