mm/khugepaged: recover from poisoned file-backed memory



Make collapse_file roll back when copying pages failed. More concretely:
- extract copying operations into a separate loop
- postpone the updates for nr_none until both scanning and copying
  succeeded
- postpone joining small xarray entries until both scanning and copying
  succeeded
- postpone the update operations to NR_XXX_THPS until both scanning and
  copying succeeded
- for non-SHMEM file, roll back filemap_nr_thps_inc if scan succeeded but
  copying failed

Tested manually:
0. Enable khugepaged on system under test. Mount tmpfs at /mnt/ramdisk.
1. Start a two-thread application. Each thread allocates a chunk of
   non-huge memory buffer from /mnt/ramdisk.
2. Pick 4 random buffer address (2 in each thread) and inject
   uncorrectable memory errors at physical addresses.
3. Signal both threads to make their memory buffer collapsible, i.e.
   calling madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE).
4. Wait and then check kernel log: khugepaged is able to recover from
   poisoned pages by skipping them.
5. Signal both threads to inspect their buffer contents and make sure no
   data corruption.
