Subject: mm/thp: fix page_vma_mapped_walk() if THP mapped by ptes

Running certain tests with a DEBUG_VM kernel would crash within hours, on
the total_mapcount BUG() in split_huge_page_to_list(), while trying to
free up some memory by punching a hole in a shmem huge page: split's
try_to_unmap() was unable to find all the mappings of the page (which, on
a !DEBUG_VM kernel, would then keep the huge page pinned in memory).

Crash dumps showed two tail pages of a shmem huge page remained mapped by
pte: ptes in a non-huge-aligned vma of a gVisor process, at the end of a
long unmapped range; and no page table had yet been allocated for the head
of the huge page to be mapped into.

Although designed to handle these odd misaligned huge-page-mapped-by-pte
cases, page_vma_mapped_walk() falls short by returning false prematurely
when !pmd_present or !pud_present or !p4d_present or !pgd_present: there
are cases when a huge page may span the boundary, with ptes present in the
next.

Restructure page_vma_mapped_walk() as a loop to continue in these cases,
while keeping its layout much as before.  Add a step_forward() helper to
advance pvmw->address across those boundaries: originally I tried to use
mm's standard p?d_addr_end() macros, but hit the same crash 512 times less
often: because of the way redundant levels are folded together, but folded
differently in different configurations, it was just too difficult to use
them correctly; and step_forward() is simpler anyway.
