Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/1] numa: fix /proc/<pid>/numa_maps for THP

In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong because the
layouts may differ depending on the architecture. On s390 this will lead to
inaccurate numap_maps accounting in /proc because of misguided pte_present()
and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte.

On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance, but
there will be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o underlying struct
pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is available. In vm_normal_page()
the fake pte will be checked with pte_special() and because there is no
"special" bit in a pmd, this will always return false and the VM_PFNMAP |
VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be skipped. On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an
invalid struct page pointer will then be returned that can crash the kernel.

This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd" variants
of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions.
