Subject: mm/thp: unmap_mapping_page() to fix THP truncate_cleanup_page()

There is a race between THP unmapping and truncation, when truncate sees
pmd_none() and skips the entry, after munmap's zap_huge_pmd() cleared it,
but before its page_remove_rmap() gets to decrement compound_mapcount:
generating false "BUG: Bad page cache" reports that the page is still
mapped when deleted.  This commit fixes that, but not in the way I hoped.

The first attempt used try_to_unmap(page, TTU_SYNC|TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK)
instead of unmap_mapping_range() in truncate_cleanup_page(): it has often
been an annoyance that we usually call unmap_mapping_range() with no pages
locked, but there apply it to a single locked page.  try_to_unmap() looks
more suitable for a single locked page.

However, try_to_unmap_one() contains a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!pvmw.pte,page): it
is used to insert THP migration entries, but not used to unmap THPs.  Copy
zap_huge_pmd() and add THP handling now?  Perhaps, but their TLB needs are
different, I'm too ignorant of the DAX cases, and couldn't decide how far
to go for anon+swap.  Set that aside.

The second attempt took a different tack: make no change in truncate.c,
but modify zap_huge_pmd() to insert an invalidated huge pmd instead of
clearing it initially, then pmd_clear() between page_remove_rmap() and
unlocking at the end.  Nice.  But powerpc blows that approach out of the
water, with its serialize_against_pte_lookup(), and interesting pgtable
usage.  It would need serious help to get working on powerpc (with a minor
optimization issue on s390 too).  Set that aside.

Just add an "if (page_mapped(page)) synchronize_rcu();" or other such
delay, after unmapping in truncate_cleanup_page()?  Perhaps, but though
that's likely to reduce or eliminate the number of incidents, it would
give less assurance of whether we had identified the problem correctly.

This successful iteration introduces "unmap_mapping_page(page)" instead of
try_to_unmap(), and goes the usual unmap_mapping_range_tree() route, with
an addition to details.  Then zap_pmd_range() watches for this case, and
does spin_unlock(pmd_lock) if so - just like page_vma_mapped_walk() now
does in the PVMW_SYNC case.  Not pretty, but safe.

Note that unmap_mapping_page() is doing a VM_BUG_ON(!PageLocked) to assert
its interface; but currently that's only used to make sure that
page->mapping is stable, and zap_pmd_range() doesn't care if the page is
locked or not.  Along these lines, in invalidate_inode_pages2_range() move
the initial unmap_mapping_range() out from under page lock, before then
calling unmap_mapping_page() under page lock if still mapped.
