mm/gup: remove FOLL_SPLIT_PMD use of pmd_trans_unstable()

There is now no reason for follow_pmd_mask()'s FOLL_SPLIT_PMD block to
distinguish huge_zero_page from a normal THP: follow_page_pte() handles
any instability, and here it's a good idea to replace any pmd_none(*pmd)
by a page table a.s.a.p, in the huge_zero_page case as for a normal THP;
and this removes an unnecessary possibility of -EBUSY failure.

(Hmm, couldn't the normal THP case have hit an unstably refaulted THP
before?  But there are only two, exceptional, users of FOLL_SPLIT_PMD.)
