Subject: [PATCH 5/7] khugepaged: Allow to collapse PTE-mapped compound pages

We can collapse PTE-mapped compound pages. We only need to avoid
handling them more than once: lock/unlock page only once if it's present
in the PMD range multiple times as it handled on compound level. The
same goes for LRU isolation and putpack.
