arm64: hugetlb: remove the wrong pmd check in find_num_contig()

The find_num_contig() will return 1 when the pmd is not present.
It will cause a kernel dead loop in the following scenaro:

   1.) pmd entry is not present.

   2.) the page fault occurs:
       ... hugetlb_fault() --> hugetlb_no_page() --> set_huge_pte_at()

   3.) set_huge_pte_at() will only set the first PMD entry, since the
       find_num_contig just return 1 in this case. So the PMD entries
       are all empty except the first one.

   4.) when kernel accesses the address mapped by the second PMD entry,
       a new page fault occurs:
       ... hugetlb_fault() --> huge_ptep_set_access_flags()

       The second PMD entry is still empty now.

   5.) When the kernel returns, the access will cause a page fault again.
       The kernel will run like the "4)" above.
       We will see a dead loop since here.

The dead loop is caught in the 32M hugetlb page (2M PMD + Contiguous bit).

This patch removes wrong pmd check, and fixes this dead loop.

This patch also removes the redundant checks for PGD/PUD in
the find_num_contig().
