In preparation for extending vma_alloc_zeroed_movable_folio() to
allocate a arbitrary order folio, expose clear_huge_page()

the generic implementation of vma_alloc_zeroed_movable_folio().

We might not want to depend on THP eventually. Right now, we still
have to, unless splitting is optional, which seems to contradict
06/10. (deferred_split_folio() is a nop without THP.)
