Subject: [PATCH 5.2 150/162] mm, page_owner: handle THP splits correctly

From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@...e.cz>

commit f7da677bc6e72033f0981b9d58b5c5d409fa641e upstream.

THP splitting path is missing the split_page_owner() call that
split_page() has.

As a result, split THP pages are wrongly reported in the page_owner file
as order-9 pages.  Furthermore when the former head page is freed, the
remaining former tail pages are not listed in the page_owner file at
all.  This patch fixes that by adding the split_page_owner() call into
__split_huge_page().

Fixes: a9627bc5e34e ("mm/page_owner: introduce split_page_owner and replace manual handling")
