Jonathan Marek d8a719059b Revert "mm/pgtable: add stubs for {pmd/pub}_{set/clear}_huge" 
This reverts commit c742199a01.

c742199a01 ("mm/pgtable: add stubs for {pmd/pub}_{set/clear}_huge")
breaks arm64 in at least two ways for configurations where PUD or PMD
folding occur:

  1. We no longer install huge-vmap mappings and silently fall back to
     page-granular entries, despite being able to install block entries
     at what is effectively the PGD level.

  2. If the linear map is backed with block mappings, these will now
     silently fail to be created in alloc_init_pud(), causing a panic
     early during boot.

The pgtable selftests caught this, although a fix has not been
forthcoming and Christophe is AWOL at the moment, so just revert the
change for now to get a working -rc3 on which we can queue patches for
5.15.

A simple revert breaks the build for 32-bit PowerPC 8xx machines, which
rely on the default function definitions when the corresponding
page-table levels are folded, since commit a6a8f7c4aa ("powerpc/8xx:
add support for huge pages on VMAP and VMALLOC"), eg:

  powerpc64-linux-ld: mm/vmalloc.o: in function `vunmap_pud_range':
  linux/mm/vmalloc.c:362: undefined reference to `pud_clear_huge'

To avoid that, add stubs for pud_clear_huge() and pmd_clear_huge() in
arch/powerpc/mm/nohash/8xx.c as suggested by Christophe.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
