Rongwei Wang 3ea871f0d8 mm, thp: fix incorrect unmap behavior for private pages
commit 8468e937df upstream.

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.
