There is an inconsistency between PMD and PUD based THP page table helpers
like the following, as pud_present() does not test for _PAGE_PSE.

pmd_present(pmd_mknotpresent(pmd)) : True
pud_present(pud_mknotpresent(pud)) : False

This drops pud_mknotpresent() as there are no current users. If/when needed
back later, pud_present() will also have to fixed to accommodate _PAGE_PSE.

This has been build and boot tested on x86.

Changes in V2:

- Dropped pud_mknotpresent() instead per Kirill

Changes in V1: (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11444529/)

Looks sane.  'git grep' confirms precisely zero references in the entire
tree.
