s390/uv: Split large folios in gmap_make_secure()

Browse source

While s390x makes sure to never have PMD-mapped THP in processes that use
KVM -- by remapping them using PTEs in
thp_split_walk_pmd_entry()->split_huge_pmd() -- there is still the
possibility of having PTE-mapped THPs (large folios) mapped into guest
memory.

This would happen if user space allocates memory before calling
KVM_CREATE_VM (which would call s390_enable_sie()). With upstream QEMU,
this currently doesn't happen, because guest memory is setup and
conditionally preallocated after KVM_CREATE_VM.

Could it happen with shmem/file-backed memory when another process
allocated memory in the pagecache? Likely, although currently not a
common setup.

Trying to split any PTE-mapped large folios sounds like the right and
future-proof thing to do here. So let's call split_folio() and handle the
return values accordingly.
