Performance when clearing with string instructions (x86-64-stosq and
similar) can vary significantly based on the chunk-size used.

  $ perf bench mem memset -k 4KB -s 4GB -f x86-64-stosq
  # Running 'mem/memset' benchmark:
  # function 'x86-64-stosq' (movsq-based memset() in arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S)
  # Copying 4GB bytes ...

      13.748208 GB/sec

  $ perf bench mem memset -k 2MB -s 4GB -f x86-64-stosq
  # Running 'mem/memset' benchmark:
  # function 'x86-64-stosq' (movsq-based memset() in
  # arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S)
  # Copying 4GB bytes ...

      15.067900 GB/sec

  $ perf bench mem memset -k 1GB -s 4GB -f x86-64-stosq
  # Running 'mem/memset' benchmark:
  # function 'x86-64-stosq' (movsq-based memset() in arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S)
  # Copying 4GB bytes ...

      38.104311 GB/sec

(Both on AMD Milan.)

With a change in chunk-size of 4KB to 1GB, we see the performance go
from 13.7 GB/sec to 38.1 GB/sec. For a chunk-size of 2MB the change isn't
quite as drastic but it is worth adding a clear_page() variant that can
handle contiguous page-extents.

Define clear_user_pages() while at it.
