hugetlb: unshare some PMDs when splitting VMAs

PMD sharing can only be done in PUD_SIZE-aligned pieces of VMAs; however,
it is possible that HugeTLB VMAs are split without unsharing the PMDs
first.

Without this fix, it is possible to hit the uffd-wp-related WARN_ON_ONCE
in hugetlb_change_protection [1].  The key there is that
hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds will not attempt to unshare PMDs in
non-PUD_SIZE-aligned sections of the VMA.

It might seem ideal to unshare in hugetlb_vm_op_open, but we need to
unshare in both the new and old VMAs, so unsharing in hugetlb_vm_op_split
seems natural.
