madvise_collapse() setting "mmap_locked = true" after calling
collapse_pte_mapped_thp() looked good but was wrong. If the loop then
moves on to the next extent, mmap_locked assures it that "vma" has been
revalidated under mmap_lock, which was not the case: and led to UAFs,
crashes in __fput() or task_work_run(), even collapse_file()'s
VM_BUG_ON(start & (HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1)) - all detected by syzbot.
(collapse_pte_mapped_thp() does validate the vma that it works on:
but it's not passed in as an argument, collapse_pte_mapped_thp() finds
the vma for mm and addr by itself - which may by this time have changed
from the vma saved in madvise_collapse().)
