mm/gup: handle hugetlb in the generic follow_page_mask code

Now follow_page() is ready to handle hugetlb pages in whatever form, and
over all architectures.  Switch to the generic code path.

Time to retire hugetlb_follow_page_mask(), following the previous
retirement of follow_hugetlb_page() in 4849807114b8.

There may be a slight difference of how the loops run when processing slow
GUP over a large hugetlb range on cont_pte/cont_pmd supported archs: each
loop of __get_user_pages() will resolve one pgtable entry with the patch
applied, rather than relying on the size of hugetlb hstate, the latter may
cover multiple entries in one loop.

A quick performance test on an aarch64 VM on M1 chip shows 15% degrade
over a tight loop of slow gup after the path switched.  That shouldn't be
a problem because slow-gup should not be a hot path for GUP in general:
when page is commonly present, fast-gup will already succeed, while when
the page is indeed missing and require a follow up page fault, the slow
gup degrade will probably buried in the fault paths anyway.  It also
explains why slow gup for THP used to be very slow before 57edfcfd3419
("mm/gup: accelerate thp gup even for "pages != NULL"") lands, the latter
not part of a performance analysis but a side benefit.  If the performance
will be a concern, we can consider handle CONT_PTE in follow_page().

Before that is justified to be necessary, keep everything clean and simple.
