After the THP refcounting change, obtaining a compound pages from
get_user_pages() no longer allows us to assume the entire compound page
is immediately mappable from a secondary MMU.

A secondary MMU doesn't want to call get_user_pages() more than once for
each compound page, in order to know if it can map the whole compound
page.  So a secondary MMU needs to know from a single get_user_pages()
invocation when it can map immediately the entire compound page to avoid
a flood of unnecessary secondary MMU faults and spurious
atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() (pages don't have to be pinned by MMU notifier
users).

Ideally instead of the page->_mapcount < 1 check, get_user_pages()
should return the granularity of the "page" mapping in the "mm" passed
to get_user_pages().  However it's non trivial change to pass the "pmd"
status belonging to the "mm" walked by get_user_pages up the stack (up
to the caller of get_user_pages).  So the fix just checks if there is
not a single pte mapping on the page returned by get_user_pages, and in
turn if the caller can assume that the whole compound page is mapped in
the current "mm" (in a pmd_trans_huge()).  In such case the entire
compound page is safe to map into the secondary MMU without additional
get_user_pages() calls on the surrounding tail/head pages.  In addition
of being faster, not having to run other get_user_pages() calls also
reduces the memory footprint of the secondary MMU fault in case the pmd
split happened as result of memory pressure.

Without this fix after a MADV_DONTNEED (like invoked by QEMU during
postcopy live migration or balloning) or after generic swapping (with a
failure in split_huge_page() that would only result in pmd splitting and
not a physical page split), KVM would map the whole compound page into
the shadow pagetables, despite regular faults or userfaults (like
UFFDIO_COPY) may map regular pages into the primary MMU as result of the
pte faults, leading to the guest mode and userland mode going out of
sync and not working on the same memory at all times.

Any other secondary MMU notifier manager (KVM is just one of the many
MMU notifier users) will need the same information if it doesn't want to
run a flood of get_user_pages_fast and it can support multiple
granularity in the secondary MMU mappings, so I think it is justified to
be exposed not just to KVM.

The other option would be to move transparent_hugepage_adjust to
mm/huge_memory.c but that currently has all kind of KVM data structures
in it, so it's definitely not a cut-and-paste work, so I couldn't do a
fix as cleaner as this one for 4.6.
