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.
