mm: thp: Use more portable PMD clearing sequenece in zap_huge_pmd().

Browse Source 
Invalidation sequences are handled in various ways on various
architectures.

One way, which sparc64 uses, is to let the set_*_at() functions accumulate
pending flushes into a per-cpu array.  Then the flush_tlb_range() et al.
calls process the pending TLB flushes.

In this regime, the __tlb_remove_*tlb_entry() implementations are
essentially NOPs.

The canonical PTE zap in mm/memory.c is:

			ptent = ptep_get_and_clear_full(mm, addr, pte,
							tlb->fullmm);
			tlb_remove_tlb_entry(tlb, pte, addr);

With a subsequent tlb_flush_mmu() if needed.

Mirror this in the THP PMD zapping using:

		orig_pmd = pmdp_get_and_clear(tlb->mm, addr, pmd);
		page = pmd_page(orig_pmd);
		tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry(tlb, pmd, addr);

And we properly accomodate TLB flush mechanims like the one described
above.
