The khugepaged daemon and madvise_collapse have two different
implementations that do almost the same thing.  Create collapse_single_pmd
to increase code reuse and create an entry point to these two users.

Refactor madvise_collapse and collapse_scan_mm_slot to use the new
collapse_single_pmd function.  To help reduce confusion around the
mmap_locked variable, we rename mmap_locked to lock_dropped in the
collapse_scan_mm_slot() function, and remove the redundant mmap_locked in
madvise_collapse(); this further unifies the code readiblity.  the
SCAN_PTE_MAPPED_HUGEPAGE enum is no longer reachable in the
madvise_collapse() function, so we drop it from the list of "continuing"
enums.

This introduces a minor behavioral change that is most likely an
undiscovered bug.  The current implementation of khugepaged tests
collapse_test_exit_or_disable() before calling collapse_pte_mapped_thp,
but we weren't doing it in the madvise_collapse case.  By unifying these
two callers madvise_collapse now also performs this check.  We also modify
the return value to be SCAN_ANY_PROCESS which properly indicates that this
process is no longer valid to operate on.

By moving the madvise_collapse writeback-retry logic into the helper
function we can also avoid having to revalidate the VMA.

We guard the khugepaged_pages_collapsed variable to ensure its only
incremented for khugepaged.

As requested we also convert a VM_BUG_ON to a VM_WARN_ON.
