mm: thp: batch-collapse PMD with set_ptes()

Refactor __split_huge_pmd_locked() so that a present PMD can be collapsed
to PTEs in a single batch using set_ptes().

This should improve performance a little bit, but the real motivation is
to remove the need for the arm64 backend to have to fold the contpte
entries.  Instead, since the ptes are set as a batch, the contpte blocks
can be initially set up pre-folded (once the arm64 contpte support is
added in the next few patches).  This leads to noticeable performance
improvement during split.
