Subject: [PATCH v1 01/12] mm/gup: reject FOLL_SPLIT_PMD with hugetlb VMAs

We only have two FOLL_SPLIT_PMD users. While uprobe refuses hugetlb
early, make_device_exclusive_range() can end up getting called on
hugetlb VMAs.

Right now, this means that with a PMD-sized hugetlb page, we can end
up calling split_huge_pmd(), because pmd_trans_huge() also succeeds
with hugetlb PMDs.

For example, using a modified hmm-test selftest one can trigger:

Before commit 9cb28da54643 ("mm/gup: handle hugetlb in the generic
follow_page_mask code"), we would have ignored the flag; instead, let's
simply refuse the combination completely in check_vma_flags(): the
caller is likely not prepared to handle any hugetlb folios.

We'll teach make_device_exclusive_range() separately to ignore any hugetlb
folios as a future-proof safety net.
