Transparent huge page has supported read-only non-shmem files. The file-
backed THP is collapsed by khugepaged and truncated when written (for
shared libraries).
However, there is race in two possible places.
1) multiple writers truncate the same page cache concurrently;
2) collapse_file rolls back when writer truncates the page cache;
In both cases, subpage(s) of file THP can be revealed by find_get_entry
in truncate_inode_pages_range, which will trigger PageTail BUG_ON in
truncate_inode_page, as follows.

[40326.304244] Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops - BUG: Fatal exception
This checks the page mapping and retries when subpage of file THP is
found, in truncate_inode_pages_range.
Fixes: eb6ecbed0aa2 ("mm, thp: relax the VM_DENYWRITE constraint on file-backed THPs")
