Sorry, patch in previous mail was a mess

Subject: [PATCH] shm: add split function to shm_vm_ops

The split function was added to vm_operations_struct to determine
if a mapping can be split.  This was mostly for device-dax and
hugetlbfs mappings which have specific alignment constraints.

mappings initiated via shmget/shmat have their original vm_ops
overwritten with shm_vm_ops.  shm_vm_ops functions will call back
to the original vm_ops if needed.  Add such a split function.

Fixes: 31383c6865a5 ("mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->split() to vm_operations_struct)
