[PATCH 4.9 12/50] mm/khugepaged: collapse_shmem() do not crash on Compound

commit 06a5e1268a5fb9c2b346a3da6b97e85f2eba0f07 upstream.

collapse_shmem()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTransCompound) was unsafe: before
it holds page lock of the first page, racing truncation then extension
might conceivably have inserted a hugepage there already. Fail with the
SCAN_PAGE_COMPOUND result, instead of crashing (CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) or
otherwise mishandling the unexpected hugepage - though later we might
code up a more constructive way of handling it, with SCAN_SUCCESS.
