riscv: mm: exclude invalid THP PMDs from page table check
RISC-V THP splitting uses a temporary invalid PMD state where pmd_mkinvalid() clears _PAGE_PRESENT and _PAGE_PROT_NONE but leaves _PAGE_LEAF set so the MM code can still recognize the PMD as a THP split in-progress entry. That temporary state no longer describes a user-accessible mapping, but page_table_check currently treats it as one because the RISC-V PMD user-accessibility test only checks whether the PMD is a leaf and has user permissions. As a result, when a PMD-sized anonymous THP is split during a COW fault, page_table_check can account the invalid intermediate PMD as a live PMD mapping, and then account the replacement PTE mappings again when the split installs the PTE table. This leaves stale PMD accounting behind and later triggers page_table_check failures such as a non-zero anon_map_count when the folio is freed. Fix this by tightening pmd_user_accessible_page() so PMD page-table-check accounting only considers leaf PMDs that still carry either _PAGE_PRESENT or _PAGE_PROT_NONE. This preserves the THP split semantics required by the MM code while preventing page_table_check from treating invalid split PMDs as live user mappings. With CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y and CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK_ENFORCED=y, tools/testing/selftests/mm/cow completes successfully on RISC-V after this change.
