Partly revert "mm/thp: carry over dirty bit when thp splits on pmd"

Browse Source 
Anatoly Pugachev reported sparc64 breakage on the patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221021160603.GA23307@u164.east.ru

The sparc64 impl of pte_mkdirty() is definitely slightly special in that
it leverages a code patching mechanism for sun4u/sun4v on relevant pgtable
entry operations.

Before having a clue of why the sparc64 is special and caused the patch to
SIGSEGV the processes, revert the patch for now.  The swap path of dirty
bit inheritage is kept because that's using the swap shared code so we
assume it'll not be affected.
