mm: rmap: fix CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb issue when unmapping



On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size
hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb: 2M and
1G, but also CONT-PTE/PMD size: 64K and 32M if a 4K page size specified.

When unmapping a hugetlb page, we will get the relevant page table entry
by huge_pte_offset() only once to nuke it.  This is correct for PMD or PUD
size hugetlb, since they always contain only one pmd entry or pud entry in
the page table.

However this is incorrect for CONT-PTE and CONT-PMD size hugetlb, since
they can contain several continuous pte or pmd entry with same page table
attributes, so we will nuke only one pte or pmd entry for this
CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page.

And now try_to_unmap() is only passed a hugetlb page in the case where the
hugetlb page is poisoned.  Which means now we will unmap only one pte
entry for a CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size poisoned hugetlb page, and we can
still access other subpages of a CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size poisoned
hugetlb page, which will cause serious issues possibly.

So we should change to use huge_ptep_clear_flush() to nuke the hugetlb
page table to fix this issue, which already considered CONT-PTE and
CONT-PMD size hugetlb.

We've already used set_huge_swap_pte_at() to set a poisoned swap entry for
a poisoned hugetlb page.  Meanwhile adding a VM_BUG_ON() to make sure the
passed hugetlb page is poisoned in try_to_unmap().
