mips and s390 use declaration inside inline function to implement
is_zero_pfn(). I wanted to be consistent with that.

I have patch to cleanup zero page helpers a bit. It's on top of
this patchset.

My bad. It's mistake on conflict solving. I'll fix that.

It's similar by structure (I used do_huge_pmd_wp_page_fallback() as a
template) but details are different in many places and I fail to see how
to combine them without making result ugly.

Makes sense. I'll do it as a separate patch on top of the series.
