We have an application with a lot of threads that use a shared mmap backed
by tmpfs mounted with -o huge=within_size.  This application started
leaking loads of huge pages when we upgraded to a recent kernel.

Using the page ref tracepoints and a BPF program written by Tejun Heo we
were able to determine that these pages would have multiple refcounts from
the page fault path, but when it came to unmap time we wouldn't drop the
number of refs we had added from the faults.

I wrote a reproducer that mmap'ed a file backed by tmpfs with -o
huge=always, and then spawned 20 threads all looping faulting random
offsets in this map, while using madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) randomly for huge
page aligned ranges.  This very quickly reproduced the problem.

The problem here is that we check for the case that we have multiple
threads faulting in a range that was previously unmapped.  One thread maps
the PMD, the other thread loses the race and then returns 0.  However at
this point we already have the page, and we are no longer putting this
page into the processes address space, and so we leak the page.  We
actually did the correct thing prior to f9ce0be7, however it looks
like Kirill copied what we do in the anonymous page case.  In the
anonymous page case we don't yet have a page, so we don't have to drop a
reference on anything.  Previously we did the correct thing for file based
faults by returning VM_FAULT_NOPAGE so we correctly drop the reference on
the page we faulted in.

Fix this by returning VM_FAULT_NOPAGE in the pmd_devmap_trans_unstable()
case, this makes us drop the ref on the page properly, and now my
reproducer no longer leaks the huge pages.
