khugepaged may try to collapse a mTHP to a smaller mTHP, resulting in
some pages being unmapped. Skip these cases until we have a way to check
if its ok to collapse to a smaller mTHP size (like in the case of a
partially mapped folio).
This patch is inspired by Dev Jain's work on khugepaged mTHP support [1].

Should we also add this check in hpage_collapse_scan_pmd() to abort the
scan early?
