Right now the logic to determine whether a given VA in the drm_gpuva
being unmapped is a huge page mapping or not is scattered
in two functions: unmap_hugepage_align() and
iova_mapped_as_huge_page(). This makes it harder to reason about the
logic being implemented for very little gain (some simple checks being
done twice), so let's consolidate all the checks related to huge page
mapping testing in iova_mapped_as_huge_page() and leave
unmap_hugepage_align() as a simple user of this helper that aligns the
area to unmap based on the return of iova_mapped_as_huge_page().

Many thanks for this improvement.

Looks good to me. Makes it easier to follow the logic.
