Subject: [PATCH v4 12/16] mm: don't split THP page when syscall is called
We don't need to split THP page when MADV_FREE syscall is called.
It could be done when VM decide to free it in reclaim path when
memory pressure is heavy so we could avoid unnecessary THP split.
For that, this patch changes two things
1. __split_huge_page_map
It does pte_mkdirty to subpages only if pmd_dirty is true.
2. __split_huge_page_refcount
It removes marking PG_dirty to subpages unconditionally.
