mm/madvise: add file and shmem support to MADV_COLLAPSE

Add support for MADV_COLLAPSE to collapse shmem-backed and file-backed
memory into THPs (requires CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y).

On success, the backing memory will be a hugepage.  For the memory range
and process provided, the page tables will synchronously have a huge pmd
installed, mapping the THP.  Other mappings of the file extent mapped by
the memory range may be added to a set of entries that khugepaged will
later process and attempt update their page tables to map the THP by a
pmd.

This functionality unlocks two important uses:

(1)	Immediately back executable text by THPs.  Current support provided
	by CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large
	system which might impair services from serving at their full rated
	load after (re)starting.  Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto
	anonymous memory to immediately realize iTLB performance prevents
	page sharing and demand paging, both of which increase steady state
	memory footprint.  Now, we can have the best of both worlds: Peak
	upfront performance and lower RAM footprints.

(2)	userfaultfd-based live migration of virtual machines satisfy UFFD
	faults by fetching native-sized pages over the network (to avoid
	latency of transferring an entire hugepage).  However, after guest
	memory has been fully copied to the new host, MADV_COLLAPSE can
	be used to immediately increase guest performance.

Since khugepaged is single threaded, this change now introduces
possibility of collapse contexts racing in file collapse path.  There a
important few places to consider:

(1)	hpage_collapse_scan_file(), when we xas_pause() and drop RCU.
	We could have the memory collapsed out from under us, but
	the next xas_for_each() iteration will correctly pick up the
	hugepage.  The hugepage might not be up to date (insofar as
	copying of small page contents might not have completed - the
	page still may be locked), but regardless what small page index
	we were iterating over, we'll find the hugepage and identify it
	as a suitably aligned compound page of order HPAGE_PMD_ORDER.

	In khugepaged path, we locklessly check the value of the pmd,
	and only add it to deferred collapse array if we find pmd
	mapping pte table. This is fine, since other values that could
	have raced in right afterwards denote failure, or that the
	memory was successfully collapsed, so we don't need further
	processing.

	In madvise path, we'll take mmap_lock() in write to serialize
	against page table updates and will know what to do based on the
	true value of the pmd: recheck all ptes if we point to a pte table,
	directly install the pmd, if the pmd has been cleared, but
	memory not yet faulted, or nothing at all if we find a huge pmd.

	It's worth putting emphasis here on how we treat the none pmd
	here.  If khugepaged has processed this mm's page tables
	already, it will have left the pmd cleared (ready for refault by
	the process).  Depending on the VMA flags and sysfs settings,
	amount of RAM on the machine, and the current load, could be a
	relatively common occurrence - and as such is one we'd like to
	handle successfully in MADV_COLLAPSE.  When we see the none pmd
	in collapse_pte_mapped_thp(), we've locked mmap_lock in write
	and checked (a) huepaged_vma_check() to see if the backing
	memory is appropriate still, along with VMA sizing and
	appropriate hugepage alignment within the file, and (b) we've
	found a hugepage head of order HPAGE_PMD_ORDER at the offset
	in the file mapped by our hugepage-aligned virtual address.
	Even though the common-case is likely race with khugepaged,
	given these checks (regardless how we got here - we could be
	operating on a completely different file than originally checked
	in hpage_collapse_scan_file() for all we know) it should be safe
	to directly make the pmd a huge pmd pointing to this hugepage.

(2)	collapse_file() is mostly serialized on the same file extent by
	lock sequence:

		|	lock hupepage
		|		lock mapping->i_pages
		|			lock 1st page
		|		unlock mapping->i_pages
		|				<page checks>
		|		lock mapping->i_pages
		|				page_ref_freeze(3)
		|				xas_store(hugepage)
		|		unlock mapping->i_pages
		|				page_ref_unfreeze(1)
		|			unlock 1st page
		V	unlock hugepage

	Once a context (who already has their fresh hugepage locked)
	locks mapping->i_pages exclusively, it will hold said lock
	until it locks the first page, and it will hold that lock until
	the after the hugepage has been added to the page cache (and
	will unlock the hugepage after page table update, though that
	isn't important here).

	A racing context that loses the race for mapping->i_pages will
	then lose the race to locking the first page.  Here - depending
	on how far the other racing context has gotten - we might find
	the new hugepage (in which case we'll exit cleanly when we
	check PageTransCompound()), or we'll find the "old" 1st small
	page (in which we'll exit cleanly when we discover unexpected
	refcount of 2 after isolate_lru_page()).  This is assuming we
	are able to successfully lock the page we find - in shmem path,
	we could just fail the trylock and exit cleanly anyways.

	Failure path in collapse_file() is similar: once we hold lock
	on 1st small page, we are serialized against other collapse
	contexts.  Before the 1st small page is unlocked, we add it
	back to the pagecache and unfreeze the refcount appropriately.
	Contexts who lost the race to the 1st small page will then find
	the same 1st small page with the correct refcount and will be
	able to proceed.
