Subject: thp: move maybe_pmd_mkwrite() out of mk_huge_pmd()

It's confusing that mk_huge_pmd() has semantics different from mk_pte() or
mk_pmd().  I spent some time on debugging issue cased by this
inconsistency.

Let's move maybe_pmd_mkwrite() out of mk_huge_pmd() and adjust prototype
to match mk_pte().
