A while ago, Willy and Sean pointed out[0] that arm64 is the last user
of kvm_is_transparent_hugepage(), and that there would actually be
some benefit in looking at the userspace mapping directly instead.

This small series does exactly that, although it doesn't try to
support more than a PMD-sized mapping yet for THPs. We could probably
look into unifying this with the huge PUD code, and there is still
some potential use of the contiguous hint.

As a consequence, it removes kvm_is_transparent_hugepage(),
PageTransCompoundMap() and kvm_get_pfn(), all of which have no user
left after this rework.

This has been lightly tested on an Altra box (VHE) and on a SC2A11
system (nVHE). Although nothing caught fire, it requires some careful
reviewing on the arm64 side.

* From v1 [1]:

  - Move the PT helper into its own function, as both Quentin and I
    need it for other developments
  - Fixed stupid bug introduced by a bad conflict resolution, spotted
    by Alexandru
  - Collected Acks from Paolo, with thanks
