huge_memory: return -EINVAL in folio split functions when THP is disabled

split_huge_page_to_list_[to_order](), split_huge_page() and
try_folio_split() return 0 on success and error codes on failure.

When THP is disabled, these functions return 0 indicating success even
though an error code should be returned as it is not possible to split a
folio when THP is disabled.

Make all these functions return -EINVAL to indicate failure instead of 0.
As large folios depend on CONFIG_THP, issue warning as this function
should not be called without a large folio.
