[PATCH RFC 01/30] mm/thp: Simplify copying of huge zero page pmd when fork

[Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>]

Huge zero page is handled in a special path in copy_huge_pmd(), however it
should share most codes with a normal thp page.  Trying to share more code with
it by removing the special path.  The only leftover so far is the huge zero
page refcounting (mm_get_huge_zero_page()), because that's separately done with
a global counter.

This prepares for a future patch to modify the huge pmd to be installed, so
that we don't need to duplicate it explicitly into huge zero page case too.
