mm/huge_memory: simplify vma_is_specal_huge()

Patch series "mm/huge_memory: refactor zap_huge_pmd()", v3.

zap_huge_pmd() is overly complicated, clean it up and also add an assert
in the case that we encounter a buggy PMD entry that doesn't match
expectations.

This is motivated by a bug discovered [0] where the PMD entry was none of:

* A non-DAX, PFN or mixed map.
* The huge zero folio
* A present PMD entry
* A softleaf entry

In zap_huge_pmd(), but due to the bug we manged to reach this code.

It is useful to explicitly call this out rather than have an arbitrary
NULL pointer dereference happen, which also improves understanding of
what's going on.

The series goes further to make use of vm_normal_folio_pmd() rather than
implementing custom logic for retrieving the folio, and extends softleaf
functionality to provide and use an equivalent softleaf function.


This patch (of 13):

This function is confused - it overloads the term 'special' yet again,
checks for DAX but in many cases the code explicitly excludes DAX before
invoking the predicate.

It also unnecessarily checks for vma->vm_file - this has to be present for
a driver to have set VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT or VMA_PFNMAP_BIT.

In fact, a far simpler form of this is to reverse the DAX predicate and
return false if DAX is set.

This makes sense from the point of view of 'special' as in
vm_normal_page(), as DAX actually does potentially have retrievable
folios.

Also there's no need to have this in mm.h so move it to huge_memory.c.

No functional change intended.
