[RFC PATCH 7/8] x86: make __split_large_page() generally avialable

[Wen Congyang <wency@cn.fujitsu.com>]

We need to clear page table after calling __remove_pages(). We may
need to clear part of pmd or pud's entry when clearing the page table.
So we need to split it to small page. Make __split_large_page()
generally avialable, and we call call this function to split large page.
