mm, thp: avoid unlikely branches for split_huge_pmd
While doing MADV_DONTNEED on a large area of thp memory, I noticed we encountered many unlikely() branches in profiles for each backing hugepage. This is because zap_pmd_range() would call split_huge_pmd(), which rechecked the conditions that were already validated, but as part of an unlikely() branch. Avoid the unlikely() branch when in a context where pmd is known to be good for __split_huge_pmd() directly.
