[patch 24/26] mm/thp: allow dropping THP from page cache

[akpm]

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>
Subject: mm/thp: allow dropping THP from page cache

Once a THP is added to the page cache, it cannot be dropped via
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches.  Fix this issue with proper handling in
invalidate_mapping_pages().

Fixes: 99cb0dbd47a1 ("mm,thp: add read-only THP support for (non-shmem) FS")
