s390/gmap: improve THP splitting
During s390_enable_sie(), we need to take care of splitting all qemu user process THP mappings. This is currently done with follow_page(FOLL_SPLIT), by simply iterating over all vma ranges, with PAGE_SIZE increment. This logic is sub-optimal and can result in a lot of unnecessary overhead, especially when using qemu and ASAN with large shadow map. Ilya reported significant system slow-down with one CPU busy for a long time and overall unresponsiveness. Fix this by using walk_page_vma() and directly calling split_huge_pmd() only for present pmds, which greatly reduces overhead.
