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.
