Denys Vlasenko has reported two bug about page table check on arm64.       
On arm64, pmd_present() contains non-leaf pmd and invalid pmd too.         

When collapse hugepage, the pmd is non-leaf and should skip the check.
Use pmd_leaf() instead of pmd_present().
                                                                           
When split hugepage, the pmd will be marked as invalid and then populate.  
So we should decrease file_map_count when invalid pmd and then increase    
when populate the pmd.
