Subject: [PATCH 1/6] pagemap: avoid splitting thp when reading /proc/pid/pagemap

Thp split is not necessary if we explicitly check whether pmds are
mapping thps or not. This patch introduces this check and adds code
to generate pagemap entries for pmds mapping thps, which results in
less performance impact of pagemap on thp.

Changes since v3:
  - Generate pagemap entry directly from pmd to avoid messy casting

Changes since v2:
  - Add comment on if check in thp_pte_to_pagemap_entry()
  - Convert type of offset into unsigned long

Changes since v1:
  - Move pfn declaration to the beginning of pagemap_pte_range()
