Let's convert to vmf_insert_folio_pmd().
There is a theoretical change in behavior: in the unlikely case there is
already something mapped, we'll now still call trace_dax_pmd_load_hole()
and return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE.
Previously, we would have returned VM_FAULT_FALLBACK, and the caller would
have zapped the PMD to try a PTE fault.
However, that behavior was different to other PTE+PMD faults, when there
would already be something mapped, and it's not even clear if it could be
triggered.
Assuming the huge zero folio is already mapped, all good, no need to
fallback to PTEs.
Assuming there is already a leaf page table ... the behavior would be
just like when trying to insert a PMD mapping a folio through
dax_fault_iter()->vmf_insert_folio_pmd().
Assuming there is already something else mapped as PMD? It sounds like a
BUG, and the behavior would be just like when trying to insert a PMD
mapping a folio through dax_fault_iter()->vmf_insert_folio_pmd().
So, it sounds reasonable to not handle huge zero folios differently to
inserting PMDs mapping folios when there already is something mapped.
