Subject: mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: fix a race between vmemmap pmd split
Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2023 11:38:59 +0800

The local variable @page in __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() to obtain a pmd
page without holding page_table_lock may possiblely get the page table
page instead of a huge pmd page.

The effect may be in set_pte_at() since we may pass an invalid page
struct, if set_pte_at() wants to access the page struct (e.g. 
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is enabled), it may crash the kernel.

So fix it.  And inline __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() since it only has one
user.
