At kernel 3.12 queue_pages_hugetlb_pmd_range() used vma->vm_mm->page_table_lock
for page table lock, which was introduced at commit e2d8cf40552 "migrate: add
hugepage migration code to migrate_pages()".
After 3.12 in mainline kernel we had the lock conversion into split pmd lock
at commit cb900f4121544 "mm, hugetlb: convert hugetlbfs to use split pmd lock".

Stable-3.12 doesn't have split pmd lock, so just adding pte_present check
with keeping vma->vm_mm->page_table_lock should be correct.

Here is the diff:
