From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <k.khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/balloon_compaction: ignore anonymous pages

Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range(). 
Problem is in function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests
AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags.  This function has no protection
against anonymous pages.  As result it tried to check address space flags
in inside anon-vma.

See http://lkml.kernel.org/p/53E6CEAA.9020105@xxxxxxxxxx.
