split_huge_pmd() for file mappings (and DAX too) is implemented by just clearing pmd entry as we can re-fill this area from page cache on pte level later.
This means we don't need deposit page tables when file THP is mapped. Therefore we shouldn't try to withdraw a page table on zap_huge_pmd() file THP PMD. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
