pmd_huge() is defined to false when HUGETLB_PAGE is not configured, but
the vmap code still installs huge PMDs. This leads to false bad PMD
errors when vunmapping because it is not seen as a huge PTE, and the bad
PMD check catches it. The end result may not be much more serious than
some bad pmd warning messages, because the pmd_none_or_clear_bad() does
what we wanted and clears the huge PTE anyway.
