Good point, for some reason loongarch defined pud_leaf() without defining
pud_pfn(), which does look strange.

#define pud_leaf(pud)		((pud_val(pud) & _PAGE_HUGE) != 0)

But I noticed at least MIPS also does it..  Logically I think one arch
should define either none of both.

My understanding is follow_pud_mask() should completely get optimized and
follow_huge_pud() will be dropped in the compiler output if pud_leaf()==false.
