mm/huge_memory: conditionally call maybe_mkwrite() and drop pte_wrprotect() in __split_huge_pmd_locked()
No need to call maybe_mkwrite() to then wrprotect if the source PMD was not writable. It's worth nothing that this now allows for PTEs to be writable even if the source PMD was not writable: if vma->vm_page_prot includes write permissions. As documented in commit 931298e103c2 ("mm/userfaultfd: rely on vma->vm_page_prot in uffd_wp_range()"), any mechanism that intends to have pages wrprotected (COW, writenotify, mprotect, uffd-wp, softdirty, ...) has to properly adjust vma->vm_page_prot upfront, to not include write permissions. If vma->vm_page_prot includes write permissions, the PTE/PMD can be writable as default. This now mimics the handling in mm/migrate.c:remove_migration_pte() and in mm/huge_memory.c:remove_migration_pmd(), which has been in place for a long time (except that 96a9c287e25d ("mm/migrate: fix wrongly apply write bit after mkdirty on sparc64") temporarily changed it).
