Subject: [PATCHv7 11/29] thp: skip file huge pmd on copy_huge_pmd()

copy_page_range() has a check for "Don't copy ptes where a page fault
will fill them correctly." It works on VMA level. We still copy all page
table entries from private mappings, even if they map page cache.

We can simplify copy_huge_pmd() a bit by skipping file PMDs.

We don't map file private pages with PMDs, so they only can map page
cache. It's safe to skip them as they can be re-faulted later.
