mm/thp: fix NR_FILE_MAPPED accounting in page_*_file_rmap()

NR_FILE_MAPPED accounting in mm/rmap.c (for /proc/meminfo "Mapped" and
/proc/vmstat "nr_mapped" and the memcg's memory.stat "mapped_file") is
slightly flawed for file or shmem huge pages.

It is well thought out, and looks convincing, but there's a racy case when
the careful counting in page_remove_file_rmap() (without page lock) gets
discarded.  So that in a workload like two "make -j20" kernel builds under
memory pressure, with cc1 on hugepage text, "Mapped" can easily grow by a
spurious 5MB or more on each iteration, ending up implausibly bigger than
most other numbers in /proc/meminfo.  And, hypothetically, might grow to
the point of seriously interfering in mm/vmscan.c's heuristics, which do
take NR_FILE_MAPPED into some consideration.

Fixed by moving the __mod_lruvec_page_state() down to where it will not be
missed before return (and I've grown a bit tired of that oft-repeated
but-not-everywhere comment on the __ness: it gets lost in the move here).

Does page_add_file_rmap() need the same change?  I suspect not, because
page lock is held in all relevant cases, and its skipping case looks safe;
but it's much easier to be sure, if we do make the same change.
