4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
commit 06a5e1268a5fb9c2b346a3da6b97e85f2eba0f07 upstream.
collapse_shmem()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTransCompound) was unsafe: before it holds page lock of the first page, racing truncation then extension might conceivably have inserted a hugepage there already. Fail with the SCAN_PAGE_COMPOUND result, instead of crashing (CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) or otherwise mishandling the unexpected hugepage - though later we might code up a more constructive way of handling it, with SCAN_SUCCESS.
