[PATCH 11/12] mm/khugepaged: delete khugepaged_collapse_pte_mapped_thps()

Now that retract_page_tables() can retract page tables reliably, without
depending on trylocks, delete all the apparatus for khugepaged to try
again later: khugepaged_collapse_pte_mapped_thps() etc; and free up the
per-mm memory which was set aside for that in the khugepaged_mm_slot.

But one part of that is worth keeping: when hpage_collapse_scan_file()
found SCAN_PTE_MAPPED_HUGEPAGE, that address was noted in the mm_slot
to be tried for retraction later - catching, for example, page tables
where a reversible mprotect() of a portion had required splitting the
pmd, but now it can be recollapsed.  Call collapse_pte_mapped_thp()
directly in this case (why was it deferred before?  I assume an issue
with needing mmap_lock for write, but now it's only needed for read).

- * Notify khugepaged that given addr of the mm is pte-mapped THP. Then
- * khugepaged should try to collapse the page table.
- *
- * Note that following race exists:
- * (1) khugepaged calls khugepaged_collapse_pte_mapped_thps() for mm_struct A,
- *     emptying the A's ->pte_mapped_thp[] array.
- * (2) MADV_COLLAPSE collapses some file extent with target mm_struct B, and
- *     retract_page_tables() finds a VMA in mm_struct A mapping the same extent
- *     (at virtual address X) and adds an entry (for X) into mm_struct A's
- *     ->pte-mapped_thp[] array.
- * (3) khugepaged calls khugepaged_collapse_scan_file() for mm_struct A at X,
- *     sees a pte-mapped THP (SCAN_PTE_MAPPED_HUGEPAGE) and adds an entry
- *     (for X) into mm_struct A's ->pte-mapped_thp[] array.
- * Thus, it's possible the same address is added multiple times for the same
- * mm_struct.  Should this happen, we'll simply attempt
- * collapse_pte_mapped_thp() multiple times for the same address, under the same
- * exclusive mmap_lock, and assuming the first call is successful, subsequent
- * attempts will return quickly (without grabbing any additional locks) when
- * a huge pmd is found in find_pmd_or_thp_or_none().  Since this is a cheap
- * check, and since this is a rare occurrence, the cost of preventing this
- * "multiple-add" is thought to be more expensive than just handling it, should
- * it occur.
