[RFC PATCH 1/3] mm/thp: Use pmdp_splitting_flush_notify to clear pmd on splitting

["Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Some arch may require an explicit IPI before a THP PMD split. This
ensures that a local_irq_disable can prevent a parallel THP PMD split.
So use new function which arch can override
