arm64/mm: Change THP helpers to comply with generic MM semantics

pmd_present() and pmd_trans_huge() are expected to behave in the following
manner during various phases of a given PMD. It is derived from a previous
detailed discussion on this topic [1] and present THP documentation [2].

pmd_present(pmd):

- Returns true if pmd refers to system RAM with a valid pmd_page(pmd)
- Returns false if pmd refers to a migration or swap entry

pmd_trans_huge(pmd):

- Returns true if pmd refers to system RAM and is a trans huge mapping

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	PMD states	|	pmd_present	|	pmd_trans_huge	|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	Mapped		|	Yes		|	Yes		|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	Splitting	|	Yes		|	Yes		|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	Migration/Swap	|	No		|	No		|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem:

PMD is first invalidated with pmdp_invalidate() before it's splitting. This
invalidation clears PMD_SECT_VALID as below.

PMD Split -> pmdp_invalidate() -> pmd_mkinvalid -> Clears PMD_SECT_VALID

Once PMD_SECT_VALID gets cleared, it results in pmd_present() return false
on the PMD entry. It will need another bit apart from PMD_SECT_VALID to re-
affirm pmd_present() as true during the THP split process. To comply with
above mentioned semantics, pmd_trans_huge() should also check pmd_present()
first before testing presence of an actual transparent huge mapping.

The solution:

Ideally PMD_TYPE_SECT should have been used here instead. But it shares the
bit position with PMD_SECT_VALID which is used for THP invalidation. Hence
it will not be there for pmd_present() check after pmdp_invalidate().

A new software defined PMD_PRESENT_INVALID (bit 59) can be set on the PMD
entry during invalidation which can help pmd_present() return true and in
recognizing the fact that it still points to memory.

This bit is transient. During the split process it will be overridden by a
page table page representing normal pages in place of erstwhile huge page.
Other pmdp_invalidate() callers always write a fresh PMD value on the entry
overriding this transient PMD_PRESENT_INVALID bit, which makes it safe.
