mm/shmem: add flag to enforce shmem THP in hugepage_vma_check()

Patch series "mm: add file/shmem support to MADV_COLLAPSE", v4.

This series builds on top of the previous "mm: userspace hugepage
collapse" series which introduced the MADV_COLLAPSE madvise mode and added
support for private, anonymous mappings[2], by adding support for file and
shmem backed memory to CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y kernels.

File and shmem support have been added with effort to align with existing
MADV_COLLAPSE semantics and policy decisions[3].  Collapse of shmem-backed
memory ignores kernel-guiding directives and heuristics including all
sysfs settings (transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled), and tmpfs huge= mount
options (shmem always supports large folios).  Like anonymous mappings, on
successful return of MADV_COLLAPSE on file/shmem memory, the contents of
memory mapped by the addresses provided will be synchronously pmd-mapped
THPs.

This functionality unlocks two important uses:

(1)	Immediately back executable text by THPs.  Current support provided
	by CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large
	system which might impair services from serving at their full rated
	load after (re)starting.  Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto
	anonymous memory to immediately realize iTLB performance prevents
	page sharing and demand paging, both of which increase steady state
	memory footprint.  Now, we can have the best of both worlds: Peak
	upfront performance and lower RAM footprints.

(2)	userfaultfd-based live migration of virtual machines satisfy UFFD
	faults by fetching native-sized pages over the network (to avoid
	latency of transferring an entire hugepage).  However, after guest
	memory has been fully copied to the new host, MADV_COLLAPSE can
	be used to immediately increase guest performance.

khugepaged has received a small improvement by association and can now
detect and collapse pte-mapped THPs.  However, there is still work to be
done along the file collapse path.  Compound pages of arbitrary order
still needs to be supported and THP collapse needs to be converted to
using folios in general.  Eventually, we'd like to move away from the
read-only and executable-mapped constraints currently imposed on eligible
files and support any inode claiming huge folio support.  That said, I
think the series as-is covers enough to claim that MADV_COLLAPSE supports
file/shmem memory.

Patches 1-3	Implement the guts of the series.
Patch 4 	Is a tracepoint for debugging.
Patches 5-9 	Refactor existing khugepaged selftests to work with new
		memory types + new collapse tests.
Patch 10 	Adds a userfaultfd selftest mode to mimic a functional test
		of UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MINOR+MADV_COLLAPSE live migration.
		(v4 note: "userfaultfd shmem" selftest is failing as of
		Sep 22 mm-unstable)

This patch (of 10):

Extend 'mm/thp: add flag to enforce sysfs THP in hugepage_vma_check()' to
shmem, allowing callers to ignore
/sys/kernel/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled and tmpfs huge= mount.

This is intended to be used by MADV_COLLAPSE, and the rationale is
analogous to the anon/file case: MADV_COLLAPSE is not coupled to
directives that advise the kernel's decisions on when THPs should be
considered eligible.  shmem/tmpfs always claims large folio support,
regardless of sysfs or mount options.
