Clearly this is due to my changes, but I'm wondering why it doesn't
happen with misaligned mappings and shmem today.  Here's the path I
see as being problematic:

split_huge_page()
  split_huge_page_to_list()
    unmap_page()
      ttu_flags = ... TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD ...
      try_to_unmap()
        try_to_unmap_one()
          split_huge_pmd_address()
            pmd = pmd_offset(pud, address);
            __split_huge_pmd(vma, pmd, address, freeze, folio);
              if (folio) {
                if (folio != page_folio(pmd_page(*pmd)))

I'm assuming it's crashing at that line.  Calling pmd_page() on a
pmd that we haven't checked is pmd_trans_huge() seems like a really
bad idea.  I probably compounded that problem by calling page_folio()
on something that's not necessarily a PMD that points to a page, but
I think the real sin here is that nobody checks before this that it's
trans_huge.

Here's Option A for fixing it: Only check pmd_page() after checking
pmd_trans_huge():

        VM_BUG_ON(freeze && !folio);
-       if (folio) {
-               VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(!folio_test_locked(folio));
-               if (folio != page_folio(pmd_page(*pmd)))
-                       goto out;
-       }
+       VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(folio && !folio_test_locked(folio));

        if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) || pmd_devmap(*pmd) ||
-           is_pmd_migration_entry(*pmd))

+               if (folio && folio != page_folio(pmd_page(*pmd)))
+                       goto out;
                __split_huge_pmd_locked(vma, pmd, range.start, freeze);
+       }

 out:
        spin_unlock(ptl);

I can think of a few more ways of fixing it, but that one seems best.
Not tested in any meaningful way, more looking for feedback.
