Aneesh Kumar K.V 15a25b2ead mm/thp: split out pmd collapse flush into separate functions
Architectures like ppc64 [1] need to do special things while clearing pmd
before a collapse.  For them this operation is largely different from a
normal hugepage pte clear.  Hence add a separate function to clear pmd
before collapse.  After this patch pmdp_* functions operate only on
hugepage pte, and not on regular pmd_t values pointing to page table.

[1] ppc64 needs to invalidate all the normal page pte mappings we already
have inserted in the hardware hash page table.  But before doing that we
need to make sure there are no parallel hash page table insert going on.
So we need to do a kick_all_cpus_sync() before flushing the older hash
table entries.  By moving this to a separate function we capture these
details and mention how it is different from a hugepage pte clear.

This patch is a cleanup and only does code movement for clarity.  There
should not be any change in functionality.
