We don't have "huge" version of PTE_SWP_UFFD_WP_SPECIAL, instead when necessary
we split the thp if the huge page is uffd wr-protected previously.

However split the thp is not enough, because file-backed thp is handled totally
differently comparing to anonymous thps - rather than doing a real split, the
thp pmd will simply got dropped in __split_huge_pmd_locked().

That is definitely not enough if e.g. when there is a thp covers range [0, 2M)
but we want to wr-protect small page resides in [4K, 8K) range, because after
__split_huge_pmd() returns, there will be a none pmd.

Here we leverage the previously introduced change_protection_prepare() macro so
that we'll populate the pmd with a pgtable page.  Then change_pte_range() will
do all the rest for us, e.g., install the uffd-wp swap special pte marker at
any pte that we'd like to wr-protect, under the protection of pgtable lock.
