Subject: mm,thp: recheck each page before collapsing file THP
In collapse_file(), after locking the page, it is necessary to recheck
that the page is up-to-date. Add PageUptodate() check for both shmem THP
and file THP.
Current khugepaged should not try to collapse dirty file THP, because it
is limited to read only text. Add a PageDirty check and warning for file
THP. This is added after page_mapping() check, because if the page is
truncated, it might be dirty.
