With split pmd page table lock enabled, we don't use mm->page_table_lock when
updating pmd entries. This patch update hugetlb path to use the right lock
when inserting huge page directory entries into page table.
ex: if we are using hugepd and inserting hugepd entry at the pmd level, we
use pmd_lockptr, which based on config can be split pmd lock.
For update huge page directory entries itself we use mm->page_table_lock. We
do have a helper huge_pte_lockptr() for that.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
