[PATCH 18/23] thp: libfs: introduce simple_thp_release()

["Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>]

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>

simple_thp_release() is a dummy implementation of fops->release with
transparent huge page support. It's required to minimize memory overhead
of huge pages for small files.

It checks whether we should split the last page in the file to give
memory back to the system.

We split the page if it meets following criteria:
 - nobody has the file opened on write;
 - spliting will actually free any memory (at least one small page);
 - if it's a huge page ;)
