[PATCH v2 3/9] mm/huge_memory: support huge zero folio in vmf_insert_folio_pmd()

Just like we do for vmf_insert_page_mkwrite() -> ... ->
insert_page_into_pte_locked() with the shared zeropage, support the
huge zero folio in vmf_insert_folio_pmd().

When (un)mapping the huge zero folio in page tables, we neither
adjust the refcount nor the mapcount, just like for the shared zeropage.

For now, the huge zero folio is not marked as special yet, although
vm_normal_page_pmd() really wants to treat it as special. We'll change
that next.
