[PATCH v5 6/8] mm/hugetlb: Allow architectures to override huge_pte_clear()

When unmapping a hugepage range, huge_pte_clear() is used to clear the
page table entries that are marked as not present. huge_pte_clear()
internally just ends up calling pte_clear() which does not correctly
deal with hugepages consisting of contiguous page table entries.

Add a size argument to address this issue and allow architectures to
override huge_pte_clear() by wrapping it in a #ifndef block.

Update s390 implementation with the size parameter as well.

Note that the change only affects huge_pte_clear() - the other generic
hugetlb functions don't need any change.
