Subject: [PATCH 0/2] khugepaged: collapse pmd for pte-mapped THP

This set is the newer version of 5/6 and 6/6 of [1]. v9 of 1-4 of
the work [2] was recently picked by Andrew.

Patch 1 enables khugepaged to handle pte-mapped THP. These THPs are left
in such state when khugepaged failed to get exclusive lock of mmap_sem.

Patch 2 leverages work in 1 for uprobe on THP. After [2], uprobe only
splits the PMD. When the uprobe is disabled, we get pte-mapped THP.
After this set, these pte-mapped THP will be collapsed as pmd-mapped.
