Many of the direct returns of error skipped doing the pte_unmap(). All non
zero exit paths must unmap the pte.

The pte_unmap() is split unnaturally like this because some of the error
exit paths trigger a sleep and must release the lock before sleeping.

Fixes: 992de9a8b751 ("mm/hmm: allow to mirror vma of a file on a DAX backed filesystem")
Fixes: 53f5c3f489ec ("mm/hmm: factor out pte and pmd handling to simplify hmm_vma_walk_pmd()")

The changes look OK to me but one issue noted below.
In any case, you can add:

I think there is a case where hmm_vma_handle_pte() is called, a fault is requested,
pte_unmap() and hmm_vma_walk_hole_() are called, the latter returns zero (the fault
was handled OK), but now the page table is unmapped for successive loop iterations
and pte_unmap(ptep - 1) is called at the loop end.
Since this isn't an issue on x86_64 but is on x86_32, I can see how it could be missed.
