[PATCH RFC 07/13] mm/arm: Redefine pmd_huge() with pmd_leaf()

From: peterx

From: Peter Xu <peterx@xxxxxxxxxx>

Most of the archs already define these two APIs the same way. ARM is more
complicated in two aspects:

- For pXd_huge() it's always checking against !PXD_TABLE_BIT, while for
pXd_leaf() it's always checking against PXD_TYPE_SECT.

- SECT/TABLE bits are defined differently on 2-level v.s. 3-level ARM
pgtables, which makes the whole thing even harder to follow.

Luckily, the second complexity should be hidden by the pmd_leaf()
implementation against 2-level v.s. 3-level headers. Invoke pmd_leaf()
directly for pmd_huge(), to remove the first part of complexity. This
prepares to drop pXd_huge() API globally.

When at it, drop the obsolete comments - it's outdated.
