mm/memory: don't require head page for do_set_pmd()
The requirement that the head page be passed to do_set_pmd() was added in commit ef37b2ea ("mm/memory: page_add_file_rmap() -> folio_add_file_rmap_[pte|pmd]()") and prevents pmd-mapping in the finish_fault() and filemap_map_pages() paths if the page to be inserted is anything but the head page for an otherwise suitable vma and pmd-sized page. Matthew said: : We're going to stop using PMDs to map large folios unless the fault is : within the first 4KiB of the PMD. No idea how many workloads that : affects, but it only needs to be backported as far as v6.8, so we may : as well backport it.
