mm, dax: check for pmd_none() after split_huge_pmd() DAX implements split_huge_pmd() by clearing pmd. This simple approach reduces memory overhead, as we don't need to deposit page table on huge page mapping to make split_huge_pmd() never-fail. PTE table can be allocated and populated later on page fault from backing store. But one side effect is that have to check if pmd is pmd_none() after split_huge_pmd(). In most places we do this already to deal with parallel MADV_DONTNEED. But I found two call sites which is not affected by MADV_DONTNEED (due down_write(mmap_sem)), but need to have the check to work with DAX properly. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
