[PATCH 5.14 153/169] mm/thp: decrease nr_thps in files mapping on THP split

[ Upstream commit 1ca7554d05ac038c98271f8968ed821266ecaa9c ]
Decrease nr_thps counter in file's mapping to ensure that the page cache
won't be dropped excessively on file write access if page has been
already split.
I've tried a test scenario running a big binary, kernel remaps it with
THPs, then force a THP split with /sys/kernel/debug/split_huge_pages.
During any further open of that binary with O_RDWR or O_WRITEONLY kernel
drops page cache for it, because of non-zero thps counter.
