Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/shmem: Fix race in shmem_undo_range w/THP

From: David Stevens <stevensd@...omium.org>

Split folios during the second loop of shmem_undo_range. It's not
sufficient to only split folios when dealing with partial pages, since
it's possible for a THP to be faulted in after that point. Calling
truncate_inode_folio in that situation can result in throwing away data
outside of the range being targeted.

Fixes: b9a8a4195c7d ("truncate,shmem: Handle truncates that split large folios")

v1 -> v2:
 - Actually drop pages after splitting a THP
