khugepaged: do not stop collapse if less than half PTEs are referenced
__collapse_huge_page_swapin() checks the number of referenced PTE to
decide if the memory range is hot enough to justify swapin.
We have few problems with the approach:
- It is way too late: we can do the check much earlier and safe time.
khugepaged_scan_pmd() already knows if we have any pages to swap in
and number of referenced page.
- It stops collapse altogether if there's not enough referenced pages,
not only swappingin.
Fix it by making the right check early. We also can avoid additional
page table scanning if khugepaged_scan_pmd() haven't found any swap
entries.
