If we end up without a PGD or PUD entry backing the gate area, don't BUG -- just fail gracefully. It's not entirely implausible that this could happen some day on x86. It doesn't right now even with an execute-only emulated vsyscall page because the fixmap shares the PUD, but the core mm code shouldn't rely on that particular detail to avoid OOPSing.
