To split a THP to any lower order pages, we need to reform THPs on
subpages at given order and add page refcount based on the new page
order. Also we need to reinitialize page_deferred_list after removing
the page from the split_queue, otherwise a subsequent split will see
list corruption when checking the page_deferred_list again.

It has many uses, like minimizing the number of pages after
truncating a pagecache THP. For anonymous THPs, we can only split them
to order-0 like before until we add support for any size anonymous THPs.

Shouldn't this be "1" instead of zero?
remap_page() takes new_nr.
