Looks like another NULL mm pointer in ksmd.. Hugh fixed one in
2832bc19f666 ("sched: numa: ksm: fix oops in task_numa_placment()"),
this looks like more of the same.
At a guess, it looks like get_mergeable_page() has a rmap_item with no
mm. No idea how that happened. Hugh? Some race due to something that
depended on the mmap_sem being exclusive, rather than for
read-ownership?
