thp, mm: avoid PageUnevictable on active/inactive lru lists

active/inactive lru lists can contain unevicable pages (i.e.  ramfs pages
that have been placed on the LRU lists when first allocated), but these
pages must not have PageUnevictable set - otherwise shrink_[in]active_list
goes crazy:

kernel BUG at /home/space/kas/git/public/linux-next/mm/vmscan.c:1122!

1090 static unsigned long isolate_lru_pages(unsigned long nr_to_scan,
1091                 struct lruvec *lruvec, struct list_head *dst,
1092                 unsigned long *nr_scanned, struct scan_control *sc,
1093                 isolate_mode_t mode, enum lru_list lru)
1094 {
...
1108                 switch (__isolate_lru_page(page, mode)) {
1109                 case 0:
...
1116                 case -EBUSY:
...
1121                 default:
1122                         BUG();
1123                 }
1124         }
...

__isolate_lru_page() returns EINVAL for PageUnevictable(page).

For lru_add_page_tail(), it means we should not set PageUnevictable()
for tail pages unless we're sure that it will go to LRU_UNEVICTABLE.
Let's just copy PG_active and PG_unevictable from head page in
__split_huge_page_refcount(), it will simplify lru_add_page_tail().

This will fix one more bug in lru_add_page_tail(): if
page_evictable(page_tail) is false and PageLRU(page) is true, page_tail
will go to the same lru as page, but nobody cares to sync page_tail
active/inactive state with page.  So we can end up with inactive page on
active lru.  The patch will fix it as well since we copy PG_active from
head page.
