thp: reintroduce split_huge_page()
This patch adds implementation of split_huge_page() for new
refcountings.
Unlike previous implementation, new split_huge_page() can fail if
somebody holds GUP pin on the page. It also means that pin on page
would prevent it from bening split under you. It makes situation in
many places much cleaner.
The basic scheme of split_huge_page():
- Check that sum of mapcounts of all subpage is equal to page_count()
plus one (caller pin). Foll off with -EBUSY. This way we can avoid
useless PMD-splits.
- Freeze the page counters by splitting all PMD and setup migration
PTEs.
- Re-check sum of mapcounts against page_count(). Page's counts are
stable now. -EBUSY if page is pinned.
- Split compound page.
- Unfreeze the page by removing migration entries.
