mm/pgtable: delete pmd_trans_unstable() and friends

Browse Source 
Delete pmd_trans_unstable, pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() and
pmd_devmap_trans_unstable(), all now unused.

With mixed feelings, delete all the comments on pmd_trans_unstable(). 
That was very good documentation of a subtle state, and this series does
not even eliminate that state: but rather, normalizes and extends it,
asking pte_offset_map[_lock]() callers to anticipate failure, without
regard for whether mmap_read_lock() or mmap_write_lock() is held.

Retain pud_trans_unstable(), which has one use in __handle_mm_fault(), but
delete its equivalent pud_none_or_trans_huge_or_dev_or_clear_bad().  While
there, move the default arch_needs_pgtable_deposit() definition up near
where pgtable_trans_huge_deposit() and withdraw() are declared.

/*
* This function is meant to be used by sites walking pagetables with
* the mmap_lock held in read mode to protect against MADV_DONTNEED and
* transhuge page faults. MADV_DONTNEED can convert a transhuge pmd
* into a null pmd and the transhuge page fault can convert a null pmd
* into an hugepmd or into a regular pmd (if the hugepage allocation
* fails). While holding the mmap_lock in read mode the pmd becomes
* stable and stops changing under us only if it's not null and not a
* transhuge pmd. When those races occurs and this function makes a
* difference vs the standard pmd_none_or_clear_bad, the result is
* undefined so behaving like if the pmd was none is safe (because it
* can return none anyway). The compiler level barrier() is critically
* important to compute the two checks atomically on the same pmdval.
*
* For 32bit kernels with a 64bit large pmd_t this automatically takes
* care of reading the pmd atomically to avoid SMP race conditions
* against pmd_populate() when the mmap_lock is hold for reading by the
* caller (a special atomic read not done by "gcc" as in the generic
* version above, is also needed when THP is disabled because the page
* fault can populate the pmd from under us).
