Subject: [PATCH v6 6/6] uprobe: collapse THP pmd after removing all uprobes

After all uprobes are removed from the huge page (with PTE pgtable), it
is possible to collapse the pmd and benefit from THP again. This patch
does the collapse by setting AS_COLLAPSE_PMD. khugepage would retrace
the page table.

A check for vma->anon_vma is removed from retract_page_tables(). The
check was initially marked as "probably overkill". The code works well
without the check.

An issue on earlier version was discovered by kbuild test robot.
