David Hildenbrand 4c89792ea0 mm: rename vm_ops->find_special_page() to vm_ops->find_normal_page() 
...  and hide it behind a kconfig option.  There is really no need for any
!xen code to perform this check.

The naming is a bit off: we want to find the "normal" page when a PTE was
marked "special".  So it's really not "finding a special" page.

Improve the documentation, and add a comment in the code where XEN ends up
performing the pte_mkspecial() through a hypercall.  More details can be
found in commit 923b2919e2 ("xen/gntdev: mark userspace PTEs as special
on x86 PV guests").
