mm: huge_memory: a new debugfs interface for splitting THP tests
We did not have a direct user interface of splitting the compound page backing a THP and there is no need unless we want to expose the THP implementation details to users. Make <debugfs>/split_huge_pages accept a new command to do that. By writing "<pid>,<vaddr_start>,<vaddr_end>" to <debugfs>/split_huge_pages, THPs within the given virtual address range from the process with the given pid are split. It is used to test split_huge_page function. In addition, a selftest program is added to tools/testing/selftests/vm to utilize the interface by splitting PMD THPs and PTE-mapped THPs. This does not change the old behavior, i.e., writing 1 to the interface to split all THPs in the system.
