bugzilla: 185700 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4IAU2

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=6d67b2a73b8e3a079c355bab3c1aef7d85a044b8

--------------------------------

commit a4aeaa06 upstream.

The read-only THP for filesystems will collapse THP for files opened
readonly and mapped with VM_EXEC.  The intended usecase is to avoid TLB
misses for large text segments.  But it doesn't restrict the file types
so a THP could be collapsed for a non-regular file, for example, block
device, if it is opened readonly and mapped with EXEC permission.  This
may cause bugs, like [1] and [2].

This is definitely not the intended usecase, so just collapse THP for
regular files in order to close the attack surface.
