The debugging showed the page passed to invalidatepage is a huge page
and the length is the size of huge page instead of single page due to
read only FS THP support.  But block_invalidatepage() would throw BUG if
the size is greater than single page.

Things have already gone wrong before we get to this point.  See
do_dentry_open().  You aren't supposed to be able to get a writable file
descriptor on a file which has had huge pages added to the page cache
without the filesystem's knowledge.  That's the problem that needs to
be fixed.
