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.
