pagemap: set pagemap walk limit to PMD boundary
Currently one pagemap_read() call walks in PAGEMAP_WALK_SIZE bytes (== 512 pages.) But there is a corner case where walk_pmd_range() accidentally runs over a VMA associated with a hugetlbfs file. For example, when a process has mappings to VMAs as shown below: # cat /proc/<pid>/maps ... 3a58f6d000-3a58f72000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fbd51853000-7fbd51855000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fbd5186c000-7fbd5186e000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fbd51a00000-7fbd51c00000 rw-s 00000000 00:12 8614 /hugepages/test then pagemap_read() goes into walk_pmd_range() path and walks in the range 0x7fbd51853000-0x7fbd51a53000, but the hugetlbfs VMA should be handled by walk_hugetlb_range(). Otherwise PMD for the hugepage is considered bad and cleared, which causes undesirable results. This patch fixes it by separating pagemap walk range into one PMD.
