huge pagecache: mmap_sem is unlocked when truncation splits pmd

Browse source 
zap_pmd_range()'s CONFIG_DEBUG_VM !rwsem_is_locked(&mmap_sem) BUG() will
be invalid with huge pagecache, in whatever way it is implemented:
truncation of a hugely-mapped file to an unhugely-aligned size would
easily hit it.

(Although anon THP could in principle apply khugepaged to private file
mappings, which are not excluded by the MADV_HUGEPAGE restrictions, in
practice there's a vm_ops check which excludes them, so it never hits
this BUG() - there's no interface to "truncate" an anonymous mapping.)

We could complicate the test, to check i_mmap_rwsem also when there's a
vm_file; but my inclination was to make zap_pmd_range() more readable by
simply deleting this check.  A search has shown no report of the issue
in the years since commit e0897d75f0 ("mm, thp: print useful
information when mmap_sem is unlocked in zap_pmd_range") expanded it
from VM_BUG_ON() - though I cannot point to what commit I would say then
fixed the issue.

But there are a couple of other patches now floating around, neither yet
in the tree: let's agree to retain the check as a VM_BUG_ON_VMA(), as
Matthew Wilcox has done; but subject to a vma_is_anonymous() check, as
Kirill Shutemov has done.  And let's get this in, without waiting for
any particular huge pagecache implementation to reach the tree.

Matthew said "We can reproduce this BUG() in the current Linus tree with
DAX PMDs".
