mm: mprotect: use pmd_trans_unstable instead of taking the pmd_lock

Browse source 
pmd_trans_unstable does an atomic read on the pmd so it doesn't require
the pmd_lock for the same check.

This also removes the special assumption that the mmap_sem is hold for
writing if prot_numa is not set.  userfaultfd will hold the mmap_sem
only for reading in change_pte_range like prot_numa, but it will not set
prot_numa.

This is always a valid micro-optimization regardless of userfaultfd.

[kirill@shutemov.name: drop unneeded pmd_trans_unstable(pmd) check after __split_huge_pmd()]
