Subject: mm: incorporate zero pages into transparent huge pages fix
After applying the "incorporate zero pages into transparent huge pages"
feature, I've got an oops on a overnight stress test:

The oops happens here:
BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte));
In short when we do the split_huge_page_map we withdraw from the pgtable
deposit of the MM and we find that pgtable isn't fully zero.
That is most certainly because we didn't clear it if it was a zero page
before putting it in the deposit. This adds the pte_clear to fix the bug.
The PT lock could be actually not be taken, as the pte is already private
to us and not visible to any other CPU (we'll be adding it to the deposit
later), but because it's private the lock can't create any contention.
Considering the paravirt calls (which also should be superfluous) may end
up being invoked and make assumptions, I thought it was safer to keep the
locking protocol the same, even if the pgtable is already private. In
order to drop it however, we should drop it from the other path too. If
we want to optimize away the lock from both branches, it's better to do it
in a separate patch.
