[PATCH mm 10/12] mm/khugepaged: collapse_pte_mapped_thp() with mmap_read_lock()

[Hugh Dickins]

Bring collapse_and_free_pmd() back into collapse_pte_mapped_thp().
It does need mmap_read_lock(), but it does not need mmap_write_lock(),
nor vma_start_write() nor i_mmap lock nor anon_vma lock.  All racing
paths are relying on pte_offset_map_lock() and pmd_lock(), so use those.

Follow the pattern in retract_page_tables(); and using pte_free_defer()
removes most of the need for tlb_remove_table_sync_one() here; but call
pmdp_get_lockless_sync() to use it in the PAE case.

First check the VMA, in case page tables are being torn down: from JannH.
Confirm the preliminary find_pmd_or_thp_or_none() once page lock has been
acquired and the page looks suitable: from then on its state is stable.

However, collapse_pte_mapped_thp() was doing something others don't:
freeing a page table still containing "valid" entries.  i_mmap lock did
stop a racing truncate from double-freeing those pages, but we prefer
collapse_pte_mapped_thp() to clear the entries as usual.  Their TLB
flush can wait until the pmdp_collapse_flush() which follows, but the
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() has to be done earlier.

Do the "step 1" checking loop without mmu_notifier: it wouldn't be good
for khugepaged to keep on repeatedly invalidating a range which is then
found unsuitable e.g. contains COWs.  "step 2", which does the clearing,
must then be more careful (after dropping ptl to do mmu_notifier), with
abort prepared to correct the accounting like "step 3".  But with those
entries now cleared, "step 4" (after dropping ptl to do pmd_lock) is kept
safe by the huge page lock, which stops new PTEs from being faulted in.
