In preparation for the second patch, abstract away the THP allocation
logic present in the create_huge_pmd() path, which corresponds to the
faulting case when no page is present.

There should be no functional change as a result of applying
this patch.

Maybe move vma_thp_gfp_mask() into this function too.

That's better, thanks.

We need to return NULL here as folio not set to null,

My bad for assuming that folio_put() also sets folio to NULL. I read
through the code path for that and I guess it does not. Thanks.
