mm/gup: accelerate thp gup even for "pages != NULL"

The acceleration of THP was done with ctx.page_mask, however it'll be
ignored if **pages is non-NULL.

The old optimization was introduced in 2013 in 240aadeedc4a ("mm:
accelerate mm_populate() treatment of THP pages").  It didn't explain why
we can't optimize the **pages non-NULL case.  It's possible that at that
time the major goal was for mm_populate() which should be enough back
then.

Optimize thp for all cases, by properly looping over each subpage, doing
cache flushes, and boost refcounts / pincounts where needed in one go.

This can be verified using gup_test below:

  # chrt -f 1 ./gup_test -m 512 -t -L -n 1024 -r 10

Before:    13992.50 ( +-8.75%)
After:       378.50 (+-69.62%)
