David Hildenbrand c27f479ef5 mm/huge_memory: try avoiding write faults when changing PMD protection
Let's replicate what we have for PTEs in can_change_pte_writable() also
for PMDs.

While this might look like a pure performance improvement, we'll us this to
get rid of savedwrite handling in do_huge_pmd_numa_page() next. Place
do_huge_pmd_numa_page() strategically good for that purpose.

Note that MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE is currently only set when we come
via mprotect_fixup().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
