mm: refactor vma_map_pages to use vm_insert_pages

vma_map_pages currently calls vm_insert_page on each individual page in
the mapping, which creates significant overhead because we are repeatedly
spinlocking.  Instead, we should batch insert pages using vm_insert_pages,
which amortizes the cost of the spinlock.

Tested through watching hardware accelerated video on a MTK ChromeOS
device.  This particular path maps both a V4L2 buffer and a GEM allocated
buffer into userspace and converts the contents from one pixel format to
another.  Both vb2_mmap() and mtk_gem_object_mmap() exercise this pathway.
