Subject: mm/khugepaged: maintain page cache uptodate flag
Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2023 14:20:36 +0900

Make sure that collapse_file doesn't interfere with checking the uptodate
flag in the page cache by only inserting hpage into the page cache after
it has been updated and marked uptodate.  This is achieved by simply not
replacing present pages with hpage when iterating over the target range. 
The present pages are already locked, so replacing the with the locked
hpage before the collapse is finalized is unnecessary.

This fixes a race where folio_seek_hole_data would mistake hpage for an
fallocated but unwritten page.  This race is visible to userspace via data
temporarily disappearing from SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE.
