Em. No. We have ptl for this. It's the only lock required (plus mmap_sem
on read) to split PMD entry into PTE table. And it can happen not only
from fault path.

If you care about splitting compound page under you, take a pin or lock a
page. It will block split_huge_page().

Suggestion to block fault path is not viable (and it will not happen
magically just because of this comment).
