[PATCHv9-rebased2 01/37] mm, thp: make swapin readahead under down_read of mmap_sem

["Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>]

From: Ebru Akagunduz <ebru.akagunduz@gmail.com>

Currently khugepaged makes swapin readahead under down_write.  This patch
supplies to make swapin readahead under down_read instead of down_write.

The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 800MB of memory,
writes to it, and then sleeps.  The system was forced to swap out all.
Afterwards, the test program touches the area by writing, it skips a page
in each 20 pages of the area.
