Subject: [PATCH RFC 02/12] mm: Provide generic pmd_thp_or_huge()

ARM defines pmd_thp_or_huge(), detecting either a THP or a huge PMD.  It
can be a helpful helper if we want to merge more THP and hugetlb code
paths.  Make it a generic default implementation, only exist when
CONFIG_MMU.  Arch can overwrite it by defining its own version.

For example, ARM's pgtable-2level.h defines it to always return false.
