Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm, thp: fix incorrect unmap behavior for private pages

When truncating pagecache on file THP, the private pages
of a process should not be unmapped mapping. This
incorrect behavior on a dynamic shared libraries which
will cause related processes to happen core dump.

A simple test for a DSO (Prerequisite is the DSO mapped
in file THP):

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int fd;

	fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY);
	if (fd < 0) {
		perror("open");
	}

	close(fd);
	return 0;
}

The test only to open a target DSO, and do nothing. But
this operation will lead one or more process to happen
core dump. This patch mainly to fix this bug.
