[PATCH mm-unstable v1 07/20] mm: don't call vm_ops->huge_fault() in wp_huge_pmd()/wp_huge_pud() for private mappings

If we already have a PMD/PUD mapped write-protected in a private mapping
and we want to break COW either due to FAULT_FLAG_WRITE or
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE, there is no need to inform the file system just like on
the PTE path.

Let's just split (->zap) + fallback in that case.

This is a preparation for more generic FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE support in
COW mappings.
