Subject: [PATCH v1 7/9] mm/memory: factor out common code from vm_normal_page_*()

Let's reduce the code duplication and factor out the non-pte/pmd related
magic into vm_normal_page_pfn().

To keep it simpler, check the pfn against both zero folios. We could
optimize this, but as it's only for the !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
case, it's not a compelling micro-optimization.

With CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL we don't have to check anything else,
really.

It's a good question if we can even hit the !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
scenario in the PMD case in practice: but doesn't really matter, as
it's now all unified in vm_normal_page_pfn().

Add kerneldoc for all involved functions.

No functional change intended.
