madvise_free, thp: fix madvise_free_huge_pmd return value after splitting
madvise_free_huge_pmd should return 0 if the fallback PTE operations are required. In madvise_free_huge_pmd, if part pages of THP are discarded, the THP will be split and fallback PTE operations should be used if splitting succeeds. But the original code will make fallback PTE operations skipped, after splitting succeeds. Fix that via make madvise_free_huge_pmd return 0 after splitting successfully, so that the fallback PTE operations will be done.
