[PATCH, RFC 7/9] thp: implement splitting pmd for huge zero page

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We can't split huge zero page itself, but we can split the pmd which
points to it.

On splitting the pmd we create a table with all ptes set to normal zero
page.
