thp: add pmd mangling functions to x86



Add needed pmd mangling functions with symmetry with their pte
counterparts.  pmdp_splitting_flush() is the only new addition on the pmd_
methods and it's needed to serialize the VM against split_huge_page.  It
simply atomically sets the splitting bit in a similar way
pmdp_clear_flush_young atomically clears the accessed bit.
pmdp_splitting_flush() also has to flush the tlb to make it effective
against gup_fast, but it wouldn't really require to flush the tlb too.
Just the tlb flush is the simplest operation we can invoke to serialize
pmdp_splitting_flush() against gup_fast.
