Introduce two more sub-options for PGTABLE_HAS_HUGE_LEAVES:

  - PGTABLE_HAS_PMD_LEAVES: set when there can be PMD mappings
  - PGTABLE_HAS_PUD_LEAVES: set when there can be PUD mappings

It will help to identify whether the current build may only want PMD
helpers but not PUD ones, as these sub-options will also check against the
arch support over HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE[_PUD].

Note that having them depend on HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE[_PUD] is
still some intermediate step.  The best way is to have an option say
"whether arch XXX supports PMD/PUD mappings" and so on.  However let's
leave that for later as that's the easy part.  So far, we use these options
to stably detect per-arch huge mapping support.

What if an architecture has hugepages at PMD and/or PUD level and 
doesn't support THP ?

What's the arch to be discussed here?

The whole purpose of this series so far is trying to make some pmd/pud
helpers that only defined with CONFIG_THP=on to be available even if not.
It means this series alone (or any future plan) shouldn't affect any arch
that has CONFIG_THP=off always.

But logically I think we should need some config option just to say "this
arch supports pmd mappings" indeed, even if CONFIG_THP=off.  When that's
there, we should perhaps add that option into this equation so
PGTABLE_HAS_*_LEAVES will also be selected in that case.

It is LOONGARCH and MIPS, they provide pud_leaf() that can return true 
even when they have no PUD.

Why is an option needed for that ? If pmd_leaf() returns always false, 
it means the arch doesn't support pmd mappings and if properly used all 
related code should fold away without a config option, shouldn't it ?

It's not always easy to leverage an "if" clause there, IIUC.  Take the case
of when a driver wants to inject a pmd pfnmap, we may want something like:

  if (pmd_leaf_supported())
      inject_pmd_leaf(&pmd);

We don't have a pmd entry to reference at the point of pmd_leaf_supported()
when making the decision.
