[PATCH mm-unstable v14 09/16] khugepaged: skip collapsing mTHP to smaller orders

[Nico Pache <npache@redhat.com>]

khugepaged may try to collapse a mTHP to a smaller mTHP, resulting in
some pages being unmapped. Skip these cases until we have a way to check
if its ok to collapse to a smaller mTHP size (like in the case of a
partially mapped folio).

This patch is inspired by Dev Jain's work on khugepaged mTHP support [1].
