Subject: mm: kfence: fix handling discontiguous page
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2023 10:50:03 +0800
The struct pages could be discontiguous when the kfence pool is allocated
via alloc_contig_pages() with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM and
!CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.
This may result in setting PG_slab and memcg_data to a arbitrary
address (may be not used as a struct page), which in the worst case
might corrupt the kernel.
So the iteration should use nth_page().
