mm/huge_memory: only split PMD mapping when necessary in unmap_folio()

Patch series "Split a folio to any lower order folios", v5.

File folio supports any order and multi-size THP is upstreamed[1], so both
file and anonymous folios can be >0 order.  Currently, split_huge_page()
only splits a huge page to order-0 pages, but splitting to orders higher
than 0 might better utilize large folios, if done properly.  In addition,
Large Block Sizes in XFS support would benefit from it during truncate[2].
This patchset adds support for splitting a large folio to any lower order
folios.

In addition to this implementation of split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(),
a possible optimization could be splitting a large folio to arbitrary
smaller folios instead of a single order.  As both Hugh and Ryan pointed
out [3,5] that split to a single order might not be optimal, an order-9
folio might be better split into 1 order-8, 1 order-7, ..., 1 order-1, and
2 order-0 folios, depending on subsequent folio operations.  Leave this as
future work.

This patch (of 8):

As multi-size THP support is added, not all THPs are PMD-mapped, thus
during a huge page split, there is no need to always split PMD mapping in
unmap_folio().  Make it conditional.
