Subject: khugepaged: skip collapsing mTHP to smaller orders
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2025 18:02:34 -0600

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].
