There are two cases to call try_to_unmap_one() with TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD
set:

  * unmap_page()
  * shrink_page_list()

In both case, the page passed to try_to_unmap_one() is PageHead() of the
THP. If this page's mapping address in process is not HPAGE_PMD_SIZE
aligned, this means the THP is not mapped as PMD THP in this process.
This could happen when we do mremap() a PMD size range to an un-aligned
address.

Currently, this case is handled by following check in __split_huge_pmd()
luckily.

  page != pmd_page(*pmd)

This patch checks the address to skip some hard work.
