[PATCH 07/14] mm: khugepaged: collapse_pte_mapped_thp() use pte_offset_map_maywrite_nolock()

In collapse_pte_mapped_thp(), we may modify the pte and pmd entry after
acquring the ptl, so convert it to using pte_offset_map_maywrite_nolock().
At this time, the write lock of mmap_lock is not held, and the pte_same()
check is not performed after the PTL held. So we should get pgt_pmd and do
pmd_same() check after the ptl held.

For the case where the ptl is released first and then the pml is acquired,
the PTE page may have been freed, so we must do pmd_same() check before
reacquiring the ptl.
