Original split_huge_page() combined two operations: splitting PMDs into tables of PTEs and splitting underlying compound page. This patch implements split_huge_pmd() which split given PMD without splitting other PMDs this page mapped with or underlying compound page. Without tail page refcounting, implementation of split_huge_pmd() is pretty straight-forward.While it's significantly simpler than it used to be, straight-forward is still not the adjective which come to my mind.
