mm/thp: carry over dirty bit when thp splits on pmd

Carry over the dirty bit from pmd to pte when a huge pmd splits.  It
shouldn't be a correctness issue since when pmd_dirty() we'll have the
page marked dirty anyway, however having dirty bit carried over helps the
next initial writes of split ptes on some archs like x86.
