commit 3d942ee079b917b24e2a0c5f18d35ac8ec9fee48 upstream.
If System V shmget/shmat operations are used to create a hugetlbfs backed mapping, it is possible to munmap part of the mapping and split the underlying vma such that it is not huge page aligned. This will untimately result in the following BUG:

This bug was introduced by commit 31383c6865a5 ("mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->split() to vm_operations_struct"). A split function was added to vm_operations_struct to determine if a mapping can be split. This was mostly for device-dax and hugetlbfs mappings which have specific alignment constraints.
Mappings initiated via shmget/shmat have their original vm_ops overwritten with shm_vm_ops. shm_vm_ops functions will call back to the original vm_ops if needed. Add such a split function to shm_vm_ops.
