khugepaged: do not stop collapse if less than half PTEs are referenced
__collapse_huge_page_swapin() checks the number of referenced PTE to decide if the memory range is hot enough to justify swapin. We have few problems with the approach: - It is way too late: we can do the check much earlier and safe time. khugepaged_scan_pmd() already knows if we have any pages to swap in and number of referenced page. - It stops collapse altogether if there's not enough referenced pages, not only swappingin. Fix it by making the right check early. We also can avoid additional page table scanning if khugepaged_scan_pmd() haven't found any swap entries.
