Subject: [PATCH 05/12] mm, thp, tmpfs: request huge page in shm_fault when
 needed

Add the function to request huge page in shm_fault when needed.
And it will fall back to regular page if huge page can't be
satisfied or allocated.

If small page requested but huge page is found, the huge page will
be splitted.
