PAGEMAP_SCAN reports an unpopulated PTE in a uffd-wp VMA as written, but
a range with no page table at all -- a PMD hole -- is skipped:
pagemap_scan_pte_hole() tests p->cur_vma_category, which never carries
PAGE_IS_WRITTEN, so the hole is neither reported nor (under
PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING) armed.

MADV_DONTNEED has fill-with-zeros semantics: it changes the contents of
the range to zeroes (a subsequent read maps the zero page), which write
tracking must report as written. An anonymous THP is write-protected in
place as a huge PMD, so a full-PMD MADV_DONTNEED clears it to pmd_none --
a hole -- and the zeroing goes unreported. A write-tracking
checkpoint/migration tool (e.g. CRIU) then treats the range as unchanged
and keeps its previous contents, so after restore or live migration the
process reads stale data instead of zeroes -- data corruption.

Report a hole in a non-hugetlb uffd-wp VMA as written, matching the
pte_none handling in pagemap_page_category(); the existing
PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING path then arms it via uffd_wp_range().

hugetlb is excluded: pagemap_hugetlb_category() reports an empty hugetlb
entry (huge_pte_none) as not-written, unlike pagemap_page_category(),
which reports pte_none as written. pagemap_scan_pte_hole() fires for a
hugetlb slot only when it has no page table; keeping that not-written
matches how an allocated-but-empty hugetlb entry reads, so the hole and
the empty-entry cases agree within the VMA.

Add a pagemap_ioctl selftest covering the anon-THP PMD-hole case.

Changes since v2 [1], addressing Andrew's review:
  - Describe the user-visible effect: MADV_DONTNEED has fill-with-zeros
    semantics, so the range must be reported written; otherwise a
    checkpoint/migration tool (CRIU) keeps stale data and the process
    reads corrupted contents after restore. Add Reported-by/Closes.
  - Reword the hugetlb carve-out to rest on the category functions:
    pagemap_hugetlb_category() reads an empty hugetlb entry as
    not-written, unlike pagemap_page_category().
  - Drop the redundant MADV_COLLAPSE fallback #define; it is in
    <asm-generic/mman-common.h> and used directly by other mm selftests.

No functional change to the fix itself since v2.
