JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-27743
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-59459
CVE: CVE-2024-46787
Depends: !4961 (merged)

This MR brings RHEL9 core MM code up to upstream's v6.6 LTS level.
This work follows up on the previous v6.5 update (RHEL-27742) and as such,
the bulk of this changeset is comprised of refactoring and clean-ups of
the internal implementation of several APIs as it further advances the
conversion to FOLIOS, and follow up on the per-VMA locking changes.

Also, with the rebase to v6.6 LTS, we complete the infrastructure to allow
Control-flow Enforcement Technology, a.k.a. Shadow Stacks, for x86 builds,
and we add a potential extra level of protection (assessment pending) to help
on mitigating kernel heap exploits dubbed as "SlubStick".

Follow-up fixes are omitted from this series either because they are irrelevant to
the bits we support on RHEL or because they depend on bigger changesets introduced
upstream more recently. A follow-up ticket (RHEL-27745) will deal with these and other cases separately.
