[PATCH v2 4/9] arm64: hugetlb: Override huge_pte_clear() to support contiguous hugepages

The default huge_pte_clear() implementation does not clear contiguous
page table entries when it encounters contiguous hugepages that are
supported on arm64.

Fix this by overriding the default implementation to clear all the
entries associated with contiguous hugepages.
