mm/huge_memory: fix lockdep complaint on 32-bit i_size_read()

Huge tmpfs testing, on 32-bit kernel with lockdep enabled, showed that
__split_huge_page() was using i_size_read() while holding the irq-safe
lru_lock and page tree lock, but the 32-bit i_size_read() uses an
irq-unsafe seqlock which should not be nested inside them.

Instead, read the i_size earlier in split_huge_page_to_list(), and pass
the end offset down to __split_huge_page(): all while holding head page
lock, which is enough to prevent truncation of that extent before the
page tree lock has been taken.
