In collapse_file(), for !is_shmem case, current check cannot guarantee
the locked page is up-to-date. Specifically, xas_unlock_irq() should not
be called before lock_page() and get_page(); and it is necessary to
recheck PageUptodate() after locking the page.
With this bug and CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y, madvise(HUGE)'ed .text
may contain corrupted data. This is because khugepaged mistakenly
collapses some not up-to-date sub pages into a huge page, and assumes the
huge page is up-to-date. This will NOT corrupt data in the disk, because
the page is read-only and never written back. Fix this by properly
checking PageUptodate() after locking the page. This check replaces
"VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageUptodate(page), page);".
Also, move PageDirty() check after locking the page. Current khugepaged
only collapse read-only .text. Therefore, the page could only be dirty
if it hasn't been flushed since first write. In such case, calls
filemap_flush() and defer the collapse.

Changes v1 => v2:
Rearrange the checks per feedback from Johannes, Rik, and Kirill.
Changes v2 => v3:
Remove redudant checks before trylock_page().
Changes v3 => v4:
Rewrite commit log.
Trigger filemap_flush() for PageDirty() case. This covers one-off
situation, where the file hasn't been flushed since first write.
