mm/khugepaged: return -EAGAIN for SCAN_PAGE_HAS_PRIVATE in MADV_COLLAPSE
MADV_COLLAPSE uses errno values to provide actionable feedback to userspace. Temporary resource constraints are mapped to -EAGAIN so the caller may retry, while intrinsic failures of the specified range are mapped to -EINVAL. collapse_file() returns SCAN_PAGE_HAS_PRIVATE when filemap_release_folio() fails while isolating file-backed folios for collapse. This currently falls through the default case in madvise_collapse_errno() and is reported to userspace as -EINVAL. However, filemap_release_folio() failure commonly reflects temporary folio state rather than a permanently uncollapsible range. For example, ext4 returns false when a folio still has dirty journalled data, btrfs returns false for dirty or writeback folios before extent state release, and NFS may return false while reclaiming filesystem-private folio state. In such cases, retrying MADV_COLLAPSE after writeback, reclaim or journal progress may succeed. This matches the existing -EAGAIN handling for SCAN_PAGE_DIRTY_OR_WRITEBACK and other transient collapse failures more closely than -EINVAL. Therefore, map SCAN_PAGE_HAS_PRIVATE to -EAGAIN so userspace receives retryable feedback for this temporary failure path.
