filemap: Fix serialization adding transparent huge pages to page cache
Commit 793917d997df ("mm/readahead: Add large folio readahead")
introduced support for using large folios for filebacked pages if the
filesystem supports it.
page_cache_ra_order() was introduced to allocate and add these large
folios to the page cache. However adding pages to the page cache should
be serialized against truncation and hole punching by taking
invalidate_lock. Not doing so can lead to data races resulting in stale
data getting added to the page cache and marked up-to-date. See commit
730633f0b7f9 ("mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with
invalidate_lock") for more details.
This issue was found by inspection but a testcase revealed it was
possible to observe in practice on XFS. Fix this by taking
invalidate_lock in page_cache_ra_order(), to mirror what is done for the
non-thp case in page_cache_ra_unbounded().
