madvise_collapse() computes the THP-aligned window:

    hstart = ALIGN(start, HPAGE_PMD_SIZE);  /* round up */
    hend = ALIGN_DOWN(end, HPAGE_PMD_SIZE); /* round down */

The following case will cause hstart > hend, and result in underflow in
the return statement, avoid it by returning zero early when hstart > hend.
The return value is due to input is valid to madvise(), and there is
nothing to collapse.

    madvise(PMD-aligned + PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE, MADV_COLLAPSE);

In addition, kmalloc_obj(), mmgrab() and lru_add_drain_all() are
unnecessary when hstart == hend, so skip these operations by returning
early too.
