x86: add set_memory_4k to pageattr.c
Add a new function to force split large pages into 4k pages. This is needed for some followup optimizations. I had to add a new field to cpa_data to pass down the information that try_preserve_large_page should not run. Right now no set_page_4k() because I didn't need it and all the specialized users I have in mind would be more comfortable with pure addresses. I also didn't export it because it's unlikely external code needs it.
