Refactor __split_huge_pmd_locked() so that a present PMD can be collapsed to PTEs in a single batch using set_ptes(). This should improve performance a little bit, but the real motivation is to remove the need for the arm64 backend to have to fold the contpte entries. Instead, since the ptes are set as a batch, the contpte blocks can be initially set up pre-folded (once the arm64 contpte support is added in the next few patches). This leads to noticeable performance improvement during split.
