[PATCH] thp: fix corner case of munlock() of PTE-mapped THPs

From: Kirill A. Shutemov

The following program triggers BUG() in munlock_vma_pages_range():

// autogenerated by syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller)
#include <sys/mman.h>

int main()
{
mmap((void*)0x20105000ul, 0xc00000ul, 0x2ul, 0x2172ul, -1, 0);
mremap((void*)0x201fd000ul, 0x4000ul, 0xc00000ul, 0x3ul, 0x203f0000ul);
return 0;
}

The test-case construct the situation when munlock_vma_pages_range()
finds PTE-mapped THP-head in the middle of page table and, by mistake,
skips HPAGE_PMD_NR pages after that.

As result, on the next iteration it hits the middle of PMD-mapped THP
and gets upset seeing mlocked tail page.

The solution is only skip HPAGE_PMD_NR pages if the THP was mlocked
during munlock_vma_page(). It would guarantee that the page is
PMD-mapped as we never mlock PTE-mapeed THPs.
