[PATCH] mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: fix a race between vmemmap pmd split

[Muchun Song <songmuchun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The local variable @page in __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() to obtain a pmd
page without holding page_table_lock may possiblely get the page table
page instead of a huge pmd page.  The effect may be in set_pte_at()
since we may pass an invalid page struct, if set_pte_at() wants to
access the page struct (e.g. CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is enabled), it
may crash the kernel.  So fix it. And inline __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd()
since it only has one user.

Fixes: d8d55f5616cf ("mm: sparsemem: use page table lock to protect kernel pmd operations")
