Re: [PATCHv5 17/28] mm, thp: remove infrastructure for handling splitting PMDs

With new refcounting we don't need to mark PMDs splitting. Let's drop code
to handle this.

Arch-specific code will removed separately.

Some functions could be changed to return bool instead of int:
pmd_trans_huge_lock()
__pmd_trans_huge_lock()
move_huge_pmd()

And there's some leftover references to pmd_trans_splitting()
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:static inline int pmd_trans_splitting(pmd_t pmd)
(for the !TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE config)

mm/gup.c: if (pmd_none(pmd) || pmd_trans_splitting(pmd))
