thp: fix page_referenced to modify mapcount/vm_flags only if page is found
When vmscan.c calls page_referenced(), if an anon page was created before a process forked, rmap will search for it in both of the processes, even though one of them might have since broken COW. If the child process mlocks the vma where the COWed page belongs to, page_referenced() running on the page mapped by the parent would lead to *vm_flags getting VM_LOCKED set erroneously (leading to the references on the parent page being ignored and evicting the parent page too early). *mapcount would also be decremented by page_referenced_one even if the page wasn't found by page_check_address. This also lets pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() go ahead on a pmd_trans_splitting() pmd. We hold the page_table_lock so __split_huge_page_map() must wait the pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() to complete before it can modify the pmd. The pmd is also still mapped in userland so the young bit may materialize through a tlb miss before split_huge_page_map runs. This will provide a more accurate page_referenced() behavior during split_huge_page().
