mm/hugetlb: introduce hugetlb_walk()
huge_pte_offset() is the main walker function for hugetlb pgtables. The
name is not really representing what it does, though.
Instead of renaming it, introduce a wrapper function called hugetlb_walk()
which will use huge_pte_offset() inside. Assert on the locks when walking
the pgtable.
Note, the vma lock assertion will be a no-op for private mappings.
Document the last special case in the page_vma_mapped_walk() path where we
don't need any more lock to call hugetlb_walk().
Taking vma lock there is not needed because either: (1) potential callers
of hugetlb pvmw holds i_mmap_rwsem already (from one rmap_walk()), or (2)
the caller will not walk a hugetlb vma at all so the hugetlb code path not
reachable (e.g. in ksm or uprobe paths).
It's slightly implicit for future page_vma_mapped_walk() callers on that
lock requirement. But anyway, when one day this rule breaks, one will get
a straightforward warning in hugetlb_walk() with lockdep, then there'll be
a way out.
