Original split_huge_page() combined two operations: splitting PMDs into
tables of PTEs and splitting underlying compound page. This patch
implements split_huge_pmd() which split given PMD without splitting
other PMDs this page mapped with or underlying compound page.

Without tail page refcounting, implementation of split_huge_pmd() is
pretty straight-forward.

Given that most of calls to split_huge_pmd() appear to be in
if (pmd_trans_huge(...)) branches, this unlikely() seems counter-productive.
