mm, thp: fix incorrect unmap behavior for private pages
When truncating pagecache on file THP, the private pages of a process should not be unmapped mapping. This incorrect behavior on a dynamic shared libraries which will cause related processes to happen core dump. A simple test for a DSO (Prerequisite is the DSO mapped in file THP): int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY); if (fd < 0) { perror("open"); } close(fd); return 0; } The test only to open a target DSO, and do nothing. But this operation will lead one or more process to happen core dump. This patch mainly to fix this bug.
