Hello Werner,

this should fix your oops, it's untested still so let me know if you
test it.

It's a noop for x86_64 and it only affected x86 32bit with highpte enabled.

Subject: khugepaged: fix pte_unmap for highpte x86_32

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>

__collapse_huge_page_copy is still dereferencing the pte passed as parameter so
we must pte_unmap after __collapse_huge_page_copy returns, not before.
