[PATCH 7.2 v16 06/13] mm/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 check is also not done during the scan phase
as the current collapse order is unknown at that time.

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