Subject: [PATCH v8 09/23] mm/shmem: Allows file-back mem to be uffd wr-protected on thps

We don't have "huge" version of pte markers, instead when necessary we split
the thp.

However split the thp is not enough, because file-backed thp is handled totally
differently comparing to anonymous thps: rather than doing a real split, the
thp pmd will simply got cleared in __split_huge_pmd_locked().

That is not enough if e.g. when there is a thp covers range [0, 2M) but we want
to wr-protect small page resides in [4K, 8K) range, because after
__split_huge_pmd() returns, there will be a none pmd, and change_pmd_range()
will just skip it right after the split.

Here we leverage the previously introduced change_pmd_prepare() macro so that
we'll populate the pmd with a pgtable page after the pmd split (in which
process the pmd will be cleared for cases like shmem).  Then change_pte_range()
will do all the rest for us by installing the uffd-wp pte marker at any none
pte that we'd like to wr-protect.
