hugetlbfs: revert "use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronization"
This reverts b43a9990055958e70347c56f90ea2ae32c67334c The reverted commit caused issues with migration and poisoning of anon huge pages. The LTP move_pages12 test will cause an "unable to handle kernel NULL pointer" BUG would occur with stack similar to: RIP: 0010:down_write+0x1b/0x40 Call Trace: migrate_pages+0x81f/0xb90 __ia32_compat_sys_migrate_pages+0x190/0x190 do_move_pages_to_node.isra.53.part.54+0x2a/0x50 kernel_move_pages+0x566/0x7b0 __x64_sys_move_pages+0x24/0x30 do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x180 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 The purpose of the reverted patch was to fix some long existing races with huge pmd sharing. It used i_mmap_rwsem for this purpose with the idea that this could also be used to address truncate/page fault races with another patch. Further analysis has determined that i_mmap_rwsem can not be used to address all these hugetlbfs synchronization issues. Therefore, revert this patch while working an another approach to the underlying issues.
