arm64/mm: drop __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET



Patch series "mm/hugetlb: Add some new generic fallbacks", v3.

This series adds the following new generic fallbacks.  Before that it
drops __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET from arm64 platform.

1. is_hugepage_only_range()
2. arch_clear_hugepage_flags()

After this arm (32 bit) remains the sole platform defining it's own
huge_ptep_get() via __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET.

This patch (of 3):

Platform specific huge_ptep_get() is required only when fetching the huge
PTE involves more than just dereferencing the page table pointer.  This is
not the case on arm64 platform.  Hence huge_ptep_pte() can be dropped
along with it's __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET subscription.  Before that, it
updates the generic huge_ptep_get() with READ_ONCE() which will prevent
known page table issues with THP on arm64.
