Subject: [PATCH] thp: use is_zero_pfn() only after pte_present() check
Use is_zero_pfn() on pteval only after pte_present() check on pteval
(It might be better idea to introduce is_zero_pte() which checks
pte_present() first).
Otherwise when working on a swap or migration entry and if pte_pfn's
result is equal to zero_pfn by chance, we lose user's data in
__collapse_huge_page_copy(). So if you're unlucky, the application
segfaults and finally you could see below message on exit:
