Let's introduce vm_normal_page_pud(), which ends up being fairly simple

Use vm_normal_page_pud() in folio_walk_start() to resolve a TODO,
structuring the code like the other (pmd/pte) cases. Defer
introducing vm_normal_folio_pud() until really used.

I mean fine :P but does anybody really use this?

This is a unified PFN walker (!hugetlb + hugetlb), so you can easily run into hugetlb PUDs, DAX PUDs and huge pfnmap (vfio) PUDs :)
