mm/hmm: improve driver API to work and wait over a range

A common use case for HMM mirror is user trying to mirror a range and
before they could program the hardware it get invalidated by some core mm
event.  Instead of having user re-try right away to mirror the range
provide a completion mechanism for them to wait for any active
invalidation affecting the range.

This also changes how hmm_range_snapshot() and hmm_range_fault() works by
not relying on vma so that we can drop the mmap_sem when waiting and
lookup the vma again on retry.
