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.
