mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE has a rather subtle semantic. It doesn't affect any existing mapping because it only updated mm->def_flags which is a template for new mappings. The mappings created after prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) have VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag set. This can be quite surprising for all those applications which do not do prctl(); fork() & exec() and want to control their own THP behavior. Another usecase when the immediate semantic of the prctl might be useful is a combination of pre- and post-copy migration of containers with CRIU. In this case CRIU populates a part of a memory region with data that was saved during the pre-copy stage. Afterwards, the region is registered with userfaultfd and CRIU expects to get page faults for the parts of the region that were not yet populated. However, khugepaged collapses the pages and the expected page faults do not occur. In more general case, the prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) could be used as a temporary mechanism for enabling/disabling THP process wide. Implementation wise, a new MMF_DISABLE_THP flag is added. This flag is tested when decision whether to use huge pages is taken either during page fault of at the time of THP collapse. It should be noted, that the new implementation makes PR_SET_THP_DISABLE master override to any per-VMA setting, which was not the case previously.
