Subject: mm/mapping_dirty_helpers: update huge page-table entry callbacks
Following the update of pagewalk code commit a07984d48146 ("mm: pagewalk:
add p4d_entry() and pgd_entry()") we can modify the mapping_dirty_helpers'
huge page-table entry callbacks to avoid splitting when a huge pud or -pmd
is encountered.
