I think we should just unshare the (appropriately aligned) range within the
vma that is the target of MADV_SPLIT.  No need to unshare the entire vma.

Not a huge deal, but if one passes an invalid range (such as not huge page
size aligned) to MADV_SPLIT, then we will not notice the error until
later in madvise_update_vma() when the vma split fails.  By then, we will
have unshared all pmds in the entire vma (or just the range if you agree
with my suggestion above).
