Subject: mm/mprotect: delete pmd_none_or_clear_bad_unless_trans_huge()
Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2023 18:30:48 -0700 (PDT)

change_pmd_range() had special pmd_none_or_clear_bad_unless_trans_huge(),
required to avoid "bad" choices when setting automatic NUMA hinting under
mmap_read_lock(); but most of that is already covered in pte_offset_map()
now.  change_pmd_range() just wants a pmd_none() check before wasting time
on MMU notifiers, then checks on the read-once _pmd value to work out
what's needed for huge cases.  If change_pte_range() returns -EAGAIN to
retry if pte_offset_map_lock() fails, nothing more special is needed.
