[PATCH v1 2/9] mm/memory: handle !page case in zap_present_pte() separately

We don't need uptodate accessed/dirty bits, so in theory we could
replace ptep_get_and_clear_full() by an optimized ptep_clear_full()
function. Let's rely on the provided pte.

Further, there is no scenario where we would have to insert uffd-wp
markers when zapping something that is not a normal page (i.e., zeropage).
Add a sanity check to make sure this remains true.

should_zap_folio() no longer has to handle NULL pointers. This change
replaces 2/3 "!page/!folio" checks by a single "!page" one.
