x86/mm/cpa: Do the range check early To avoid excessive 4k wise checks in the common case do a quick check first whether the requested new page protections conflict with a static protection area in the large page. If there is no conflict then the decision whether to preserve or to split the page can be made immediately. If the requested range covers the full large page, preserve it. Otherwise split it up. No point in doing a slow crawl in 4k steps.
