thp: handle file COW faults
File COW for THP is handled on pte level: just split the pmd.
It's not clear how benefitial would be allocation of huge pages on COW
faults. And it would require some code to make them work.
I think at some point we can consider teaching khugepaged to collapse
pages in COW mappings, but allocating huge on fault is probably
overkill.
