mm: numa: recheck for transhuge pages under lock during protection changes

Sasha reported the following bug using trinity

  kernel BUG at mm/mprotect.c:149!

The VM_BUG_ON was added in -mm by the patch "mm,numa: reorganize
change_pmd_range".  The race existed without the patch but was just
harder to hit.

The problem is that a transhuge check is made without holding the PTL.
It's possible at the time of the check that a parallel fault clears the
pmd and inserts a new one which then triggers the VM_BUG_ON check.  This
patch removes the VM_BUG_ON but fixes the race by rechecking transhuge
under the PTL when marking page tables for NUMA hinting and bailing if a
race occurred.  It is not a problem for calls to mprotect() as they hold
mmap_sem for write.
