Subject: mm/vmalloc: extract vmap_set_ptes() to consolidate PTE mapping logic
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 20:08:09 +0800

Extract the common PTE mapping logic from vmap_pte_range() into a shared
helper vmap_set_ptes().  This handles both CONT_PTE and regular PTE
mappings in a single function, preparing for the next patch which will
extend vmap_pages_pte_range() to also use this helper.

The #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE guard is moved inside vmap_set_ptes(), so
callers no longer need to handle the conditional compilation.

No functional change.
