mm: thp: fix MADV_REMOVE deadlock on shmem THP 

commit 1c2f67308af4c102b4e1e6cd6f69819ae59408e0 upstream.

Sergey reported deadlock between kswapd correctly doing its usual
lock_page(page) followed by down_read(page->mapping->i_mmap_rwsem), and
madvise(MADV_REMOVE) on an madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) area doing
down_write(page->mapping->i_mmap_rwsem) followed by lock_page(page).

This happened when shmem_fallocate(punch hole)'s unmap_mapping_range()
reaches zap_pmd_range()'s call to __split_huge_pmd().  The same deadlock
could occur when partially truncating a mapped huge tmpfs file, or using
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) on it.

__split_huge_pmd()'s page lock was added in 5.8, to make sure that any
concurrent use of reuse_swap_page() (holding page lock) could not catch
the anon THP's mapcounts and swapcounts while they were being split.

Fortunately, reuse_swap_page() is never applied to a shmem or file THP
(not even by khugepaged, which checks PageSwapCache before calling), and
anonymous THPs are never created in shmem or file areas: so that
__split_huge_pmd()'s page lock can only be necessary for anonymous THPs,
on which there is no risk of deadlock with i_mmap_rwsem.
