mm: don't look at xarray value entries in split_huge_pages_in_file

Patch series "return an ERR_PTR from __filemap_get_folio", v3.

__filemap_get_folio and its wrappers can return NULL for three different
conditions, which in some cases requires the caller to reverse engineer
the decision making.  This is fixed by returning an ERR_PTR instead of
NULL and thus transporting the reason for the failure.  But to make
that work we first need to ensure that no xa_value special case is
returned and thus return the FGP_ENTRY flag.  It turns out that flag
is barely used and can usually be deal with in a better way.

This patch (of 7):

split_huge_pages_in_file never wants to do anything with the special value
enties.  Switch to using filemap_get_folio to not even see them.
