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].

Probably worth adding a TODO in the code like
/*
* TODO: In some cases of partially-mapped folios, we'd actually
* want to collapse.
