Subject: [PATCH 4.9 05/50] mm/khugepaged: collapse_shmem() stop if punched or truncated

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

commit 701270fa193aadf00bdcf607738f64997275d4c7 upstream.

Huge tmpfs testing showed that although collapse_shmem() recognizes a
concurrently truncated or hole-punched page correctly, its handling of
holes was liable to refill an emptied extent.  Add check to stop that.

Fixes: f3f0e1d2150b2 ("khugepaged: add support of collapse for tmpfs/shmem pages")
