ARM: mm: Make virt_to_pfn() a static inline
Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed
(const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that
type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the
macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types
such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments
without warnings.
Doing this is a bit intrusive: virt_to_pfn() requires
PHYS_PFN_OFFSET and PAGE_SHIFT to be defined, and this is defined in
<asm/page.h>, so this must be included *before* <asm/memory.h>.
The use of macros were obscuring the unclear inclusion order here,
as the macros would eventually be resolved, but a static inline
like this cannot be compiled with unresolved macros.
The naive solution to include <asm/page.h> at the top of
<asm/memory.h> does not work, because <asm/memory.h> sometimes
includes <asm/page.h> at the end of itself, which would create a
confusing inclusion loop. So instead, take the approach to always
unconditionally include <asm/page.h> at the end of <asm/memory.h>
arch/arm uses <asm/memory.h> explicitly in a lot of places,
however it turns out that if we just unconditionally include
<asm/memory.h> into <asm/page.h> and switch all inclusions of
<asm/memory.h> to <asm/page.h> instead, we enforce the right
order and <asm/memory.h> will always have access to the
definitions.
Put an inclusion guard in place making it impossible to include
<asm/memory.h> explicitly.
