mm: Fix sleeping while atomic during speculative page fault
A speculative page fault may race with a call to free_pagetables. If
free_pagetables is called first, *(vmf->pmd) may be empty.
__might_sleep()
__alloc_pages_nodemask()
pte_alloc_one(inline)
__pte_alloc()
pte_alloc_one_map(inline)
alloc_set_pte()
filemap_map_pages()
do_fault_around(inline)
do_read_fault(inline)
do_fault(inline)
handle_pte_fault()
mem_cgroup_exit_user_fault(inline)
__handle_speculative_fault()
do_page_fault()
As filemap_map_pages() holds an rcu_lock(), this triggers a
sleeping-while-atomic BUG(). As free_pagetables has already been called,
it is also a memory leak.
Fix this by skipping to pte_map_lock() to allow spf to detect that
the vma has changed, and a normal page fault should be taken instead.
