mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: fix a race between vmemmap pmd split
The local variable @page in __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() to obtain a pmd page without holding page_table_lock may possiblely get the page table page instead of a huge pmd page. The effect may be in set_pte_at() since we may pass an invalid page struct, if set_pte_at() wants to access the page struct (e.g. CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is enabled), it may crash the kernel. So fix it. And inline __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() since it only has one user.
