Currently we have some times the following judgments repeated in the
code:

	is_swap_pmd(*pmd) || pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) || pmd_devmap(*pmd)

which is to determine whether the *pmd is a huge pmd, so introduce
is_huge_pmd() helper to deduplicate them.

Isn't this pmd_leaf() ?

Currently, the implementation of pmd_leaf() does not include
pmd_devmap() checks. But considering the semantics of pmd_leaf(),
the "devmap" pmd should also belong to "leaf" pmd. Maybe we should
modify pmd_leaf() to make it more semantically consistent?

By the way, something went wrong when sending this patchset, and
I have re-sent the complete patchset, please comment over there.

Thanks,
