mm,thp: avoid writes to file with THP in pagecache
In previous patch, an application could put part of its text section in THP via madvise(). These THPs will be protected from writes when the application is still running (TXTBSY). However, after the application exits, the file is available for writes. This patch avoids writes to file THP by dropping page cache for the file when the file is open for write. A new counter nr_thps is added to struct address_space. In do_dentry_open(), if the file is open for write and nr_thps is non-zero, we drop page cache for the whole file.
