mm: sparsemem: use page table lock to protect kernel pmd operations 

The init_mm.page_table_lock is used to protect kernel page tables, we
can use it to serialize splitting vmemmap PMD mappings instead of mmap
write lock, which can increase the concurrency of vmemmap_remap_free().

Actually, It increase the concurrency between allocations of HugeTLB
pages.  But it is not the only benefit.  There are a lot of users of
mmap read lock of init_mm.  The mmap write lock is holding through
vmemmap_remap_free(), removing mmap write lock usage to make it does not
affect other users of mmap read lock.  It is not making anything worse
and always a win to move.

Now the kernel page table walker does not hold the page_table_lock when
walking pmd entries.  There may be consistency issue of a pmd entry,
because pmd entry might change from a huge pmd entry to a PTE page
table.  There is only one user of kernel page table walker, namely
ptdump.  The ptdump already considers the consistency, which use a local
variable to cache the value of pmd entry.  But we also need to update
->action to ACTION_CONTINUE to make sure the walker does not walk every
pte entry again when concurrent thread has split the huge pmd.
