In fact, I understand it this way: the 99cb0dbd47a1 only introduce 
file-backed THP for VMA with MAP_DENYWRITE, denying write directly not 
to truncate pagecache when it is opened. And eb6ecbed0aa2 will to 
truncate pagecache when DSO is opened by a writer, then will trigger ...

It seems 'Fixes: eb6ecbed0aa2' is more reasonable.
