Can we reuse the existing split_huge_page knob instead of creating a new one?

Two knobs for splitting huge pages on debugging purpose seem
overkilling to me IMHO. I'm wondering if we could check if a special
value (e.g. 1 or -1) is written then split all THPs as split_huge_page
knob does?

I don't think this interface is used widely so the risk should be very
low for breaking userspace.
