Thanks a lot for all these, Kirill.

Okay, done throughout.  I wouldn't have added those comments, but Linus
had another "simmering hatred", of the "compound" arguments: he found
them very confusing.

The real fix is to rename them, probably to pmd_mapped; or better, pass
down an int nr_pages as he suggested; but I'm wary of the HPAGE_NR_PAGES
build bug, and it wants to be propagated through various other files
(headers and mlock.c, maybe more) - not a cleanup to get into now.

It was intentional there, I thought it was easier to read that way;
but since this gets reverted in the next patch, I've no reason to
fight over it - removed.
