regmap: Range API changes

A bunch of updates to the regmap range support, the most important ones
being to rename "n_ranges" to "num_ranges" for consistency and to allow
block writes to cross page boundaries, making things more transparent.

getting things ready for his ESTALE patchset."

vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

arm64: System calls handling

This patch adds support for system calls coming from 64-bit
applications. It uses the asm-generic/unistd.h definitions with the
canonical set of system calls. The private system calls are only used
for 32-bit (compat) applications as 64-bit ones can set the TLS and
flush the caches entirely from user space.

The sys_call_table is just an array defined in a C file and it contains
pointers to the syscall functions. The array is 4KB aligned to allow the
use of the ADRP instruction (longer range ADR) in entry.S.
