[PATCHv3, RFC 23/34] thp, mm: split huge page on mmap file page

From: Kirill A. Shutemov

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We are not ready to mmap file-backed tranparent huge pages. Let's split
them on fault attempt.

Later in the patchset we'll implement mmap() properly and this code path
be used for fallback cases.
