Subject: [PATCH 6/8] thp: move maybe_pmd_mkwrite() out of mk_huge_pmd()

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>

It's confusing that mk_huge_pmd() has semantics different from mk_pte()
or mk_pmd(). I spent some time on debugging issue cased by this
inconsistency.

Let's move maybe_pmd_mkwrite() out of mk_huge_pmd() and adjust
prototype to match mk_pte().
