This completes the split of the non-present and present pte cases by moving the check for the source pte being present into the single caller, which also means that we clearly separate out the very different return value case for a non-present pte. The present pte case currently always succeeds. This is a pure code re-organization with no semantic change: the intent is to make it much easier to add a new return case to the present pte case for when we do early COW at page table copy time. This was split out from the previous commit simply to make it easy to visually see that there were no semantic changes from this code re-organization.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
