thp: add pmd mangling functions to x86
Add needed pmd mangling functions with symmetry with their pte counterparts. pmdp_splitting_flush() is the only new addition on the pmd_ methods and it's needed to serialize the VM against split_huge_page. It simply atomically sets the splitting bit in a similar way pmdp_clear_flush_young atomically clears the accessed bit. pmdp_splitting_flush() also has to flush the tlb to make it effective against gup_fast, but it wouldn't really require to flush the tlb too. Just the tlb flush is the simplest operation we can invoke to serialize pmdp_splitting_flush() against gup_fast.
