commit 0eb2df2b5629794020f75e94655e1994af63f0d4 upstream.

There is a race between isolate_huge_page() and __free_huge_page().

CPU0: CPU1:

if (PageHuge(page))
put_page(page)
__free_huge_page(page)
spin_lock(&hugetlb_lock)
update_and_free_page(page)
set_compound_page_dtor(page,
NULL_COMPOUND_DTOR)
spin_unlock(&hugetlb_lock)
isolate_huge_page(page)
// trigger BUG_ON
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page)
spin_lock(&hugetlb_lock)
page_huge_active(page)
// trigger BUG_ON
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHuge(page), page)
spin_unlock(&hugetlb_lock)

When we isolate a HugeTLB page on CPU0. Meanwhile, we free it to the
buddy allocator on CPU1. Then, we can trigger a BUG_ON on CPU0, because
it is already freed to the buddy allocator.
