mm/huge_memory: fix truncate racing with PMD zapping
zap_huge_pmd_folio() removes the rmap before calling folio_mark_dirty().
If this was the last mapping, truncation can skip unmapping the folio
and proceed without waiting for the PMD lock, racing with dirtying.
ifs_set_range_dirty() can oops if MADV_DONTNEED races with
ftruncate() on XFS, when we get the folio set dirty after it was found
to not be mapped anymore.
Move folio_mark_dirty() and folio_mark_accessed() before rmap removal,
matching the PTE zap path. This keeps the folio mapped while updating
its state, so truncation must wait for the page table lock.
Fix generated by an LLM and sent by Chris Mason in private.
