Subject: mm/khugepaged: collapse_shmem() remember to clear holes
Huge tmpfs testing reminds us that there is no __GFP_ZERO in the gfp flags
khugepaged uses to allocate a huge page - in all common cases it would
just be a waste of effort - so collapse_shmem() must remember to clear out
any holes that it instantiates.
The obvious place to do so, where they are put into the page cache tree,
is not a good choice: because interrupts are disabled there. Leave it
until further down, once success is assured, where the other pages are
copied (before setting PageUptodate).
