From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Once a THP is added to the page cache, it cannot be dropped via
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches. Fix this issue with proper handling in
invalidate_mapping_pages() and __remove_mapping().
Fixes: 99cb0dbd47a1 ("mm,thp: add read-only THP support for (non-shmem) FS")
