mm/memory: introduce is_huge_zero_pfn() and use it in vm_normal_page_pmd()
Patch series "mm: introduce snapshot_page()", v3. This series introduces snapshot_page(), a helper function that can be used to create a snapshot of a struct page and its associated struct folio. This function is intended to help callers with a consistent view of a a folio while reducing the chance of encountering partially updated or inconsistent state, such as during folio splitting which could lead to crashes and BUG_ON()s being triggered. This patch (of 4): Let's avoid working with the PMD when not required. If vm_normal_page_pmd() would be called on something that is not a present pmd, it would already be a bug (pfn possibly garbage). While at it, let's support passing in any pfn covered by the huge zero folio by masking off PFN bits -- which should be rather cheap.
