mm/sparse-vmemmap: provide generic vmemmap_set_pmd() and vmemmap_check_pmd()

Browse Source 
Patch series "mm/sparse-vmemmap: Provide generic vmemmap_set_pmd() and
vmemmap_check_pmd()", v3.

The weak vmemmap_set_pmd() and vmemmap_check_pmd() hooks are currently
no-ops in the generic code, which leaves architectures that need PMD-level
handling to open-code the same logic locally.

This series provides generic implementations for both helpers in
mm/sparse-vmemmap.c.  vmemmap_set_pmd() installs a huge PMD with
PAGE_KERNEL protection, and vmemmap_check_pmd() verifies a present leaf
PMD before reusing the existing vmemmap_verify() helper.

With those generic helpers in place, patches 2-5 remove the now redundant
arch-specific implementations from arm64, riscv, loongarch, and sparc.


This patch (of 5):

The two weak functions are currently no-ops on every architecture, forcing
each platform that needs them to duplicate the same handful of lines. 
Provide a generic implementation:

- vmemmap_set_pmd() simply sets a huge PMD with PAGE_KERNEL protection.

- vmemmap_check_pmd() verifies that the PMD is present and leaf,
  then calls the existing vmemmap_verify() helper.

Architectures that need special handling can continue to override the weak
symbols; everyone else gets the standard version for free.
