khugepaged: khugepaged_test_exit() check mmget_still_valid()
Move collapse_huge_page()'s mmget_still_valid() check into khugepaged_test_exit() itself. collapse_huge_page() is used for anon THP only, and earned its mmget_still_valid() check because it inserts a huge pmd entry in place of the page table's pmd entry; whereas collapse_file()'s retract_page_tables() or collapse_pte_mapped_thp() merely clears the page table's pmd entry. But core dumping without mmap lock must have been as open to mistaking a racily cleared pmd entry for a page table at physical page 0, as exit_mmap() was. And we certainly have no interest in mapping as a THP once dumping core.
