01609ec2fa ARC, thp: remove infrastructure for handling splitting PMDs
With THP refcounting work, no need to mark PMDs splitting.

(ARC got missed under the sweeping arch change as THP support was likely
not present in orig baseline)

722fe8fd36 ARCv2: mm: THP: Implement flush_pmd_tlb_range() optimization
Implement the TLB flush routine to evict a sepcific Super TLB entry,
vs. moving to a new ASID on every such flush.

fe6c1b8611 ARCv2: mm: THP support
MMUv4 in HS38x cores supports Super Pages which are basis for Linux THP
support.

Normal and Super pages can co-exist (ofcourse not overlap) in TLB with a
new bit "SZ" in TLB page desciptor to distinguish between them.
Super Page size is configurable in hardware (4K to 16M), but fixed once
RTL builds.

The exact THP size a Linx configuration will support is a function of:
 - MMU page size (typical 8K, RTL fixed)
 - software page walker address split between PGD:PTE:PFN (typical
   11:8:13, but can be changed with 1 line)

So for above default, THP size supported is 8K * 256 = 2M

Default Page Walker is 2 levels, PGD:PTE:PFN, which in THP regime
reduces to 1 level (as PTE is folded into PGD and canonically referred
to as PMD).

Thus thp PMD accessors are implemented in terms of PTE (just like sparc)
