Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_vma_mapped: use huge_ptep_get() for hugetlb

check_pte() is the final validation step in page_vma_mapped_walk().  It
reads pvmw->pte with ptep_get() to decide whether the entry maps the PFN
range being walked.  For hugetlb VMAs, that pointer refers to a hugetlb
entry.

On arches which provide their own huge_ptep_get() to dereference a huge
pte pointer, accessing via ptep_get() would cause pte_pfn(), pte_present()
etc to misbehave.

It is not clear whether this has a trivially visible effect to userspace.

Use huge_ptep_get() to dereference a huge pte pointer.
