Add PM_HUGE_THP MAPPING to allow userspace to detect whether a given virt
address is currently mapped by a transparent huge page or not.
Example use case is a process requesting THPs from the kernel (via
a huge tmpfs mount for example), for a performance critical region of
memory. The userspace may want to query whether the kernel is actually
backing this memory by hugepages or not.
PM_HUGE_THP_MAPPING bit is set if the virt address is mapped at the PMD
level and the underlying page is a transparent huge page.
Tested manually by adding logging into transhuge-stress, and by
allocating THP and querying the PM_HUGE_THP_MAPPING flag at those
virtual addresses.
