pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf() only implies a pmd_present()/pud_present() check on
some architectures. We really should check for
pmd_present()/pud_present() first.

This should explain the report we got on ppc64 (which has
CONFIG_PGTABLE_HAS_HUGE_LEAVES set in the config) that triggered:
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(pmd_leaf(pmdp_get_lockless(pmdp)));

Likely we had a PMD migration entry for which pmd_leaf() did not
trigger. We raced with restoring the PMD migration entry, and suddenly
saw a pmd_leaf(). In this case, pte_offset_map_lock() saved us from more
trouble, because it rechecks the PMD value, but we would not have processed
the migration entry -- which is not too bad because the only user of
FW_MIGRATION is KSM for unsharing, and KSM only applies to small folios.

Further, we shouldn't re-read the PMD/PUD value for our warning, the
primary purpose of the VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() is to find spurious use of
pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf() without CONFIG_PGTABLE_HAS_HUGE_LEAVES.

As a side note, we are currently not implementing FW_MIGRATION support
for PUD migration entries, which likely should exist due to hugetlb. Add
a TODO so this won't fall through the cracks if more FW_MIGRATION users
get added.

Was able to write a quick reproducer and verify that the issue no longer triggers with this fix.
