mm/khugepaged: generalize __collapse_huge_page_* for mTHP support
generalize the order of the __collapse_huge_page_* and collapse_max_* functions to support future mTHP collapse. The current mechanism for determining collapse with the khugepaged_max_ptes_none value is not designed with mTHP in mind. This raises a key design issue: if we support user defined max_pte_none values (even those scaled by order), a collapse of a lower order can introduces an feedback loop, or "creep", when max_ptes_none is set to a value greater than HPAGE_PMD_NR / 2. [1] With this configuration, a successful collapse to order N will populate enough pages to satisfy the collapse condition on order N+1 on the next scan. This leads to unnecessary work and memory churn. To fix this issue introduce a helper function that will limit mTHP collapse support to two max_ptes_none values, 0 and HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1. This effectively supports two modes: [2] - max_ptes_none=0: never collapses if it encounters an empty PTE or a PTE that maps the shared zeropage. Consequently, no memory bloat. - max_ptes_none=511 (on 4k pagesz): Always collapse to the highest available mTHP order. This removes the possibility of "creep", and a warning will be emitted if any non-supported max_ptes_none value is configured with mTHP enabled. Any intermediate value will default mTHP collapse to max_ptes_none=0. mTHP collapse will not honor the khugepaged_max_ptes_shared or khugepaged_max_ptes_swap parameters, and will fail if it encounters a shared or swapped entry. No functional changes in this patch; however it defines future behavior for mTHP collapse.
