commit 263630e8d176d87308481ebdcd78ef9426739c6b upstream.

If madvise(..., MADV_FREE) split a transparent hugepage, it called
put_page() before unlock_page().

This was wrong because put_page() can free the page, e.g. if a
concurrent madvise(..., MADV_DONTNEED) has removed it from the memory
mapping. put_page() then rightfully complained about freeing a locked
page.

Fix this by moving the unlock_page() before put_page().

This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following splat:

Here is a C reproducer:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define MADV_FREE 8
#define PAGE_SIZE 4096

static void *mapping;
static const size_t mapping_size = 0x1000000;

static void *madvise_thrproc(void *arg)
{
madvise(mapping, mapping_size, (long)arg);
}

int main(void)
{
pthread_t t[2];

for (;;) {
mapping = mmap(NULL, mapping_size, PROT_WRITE,
MAP_POPULATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);

munmap(mapping + mapping_size / 2, PAGE_SIZE);

pthread_create(&t[0], 0, madvise_thrproc, (void*)MADV_DONTNEED);
pthread_create(&t[1], 0, madvise_thrproc, (void*)MADV_FREE);
pthread_join(t[0], NULL);
pthread_join(t[1], NULL);
munmap(mapping, mapping_size);
}
}

Note: to see the splat, CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y and
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y are needed.
