Subject: [PATCH] KVM: s390: Fix gmap_helper_zap_one_page() again
A few checks were missing in gmap_helper_zap_one_page(), which can lead
to memory corruption in the guest under specific circumstances.
Add the missing checks.
Fixes: 5deafa27d9ae ("KVM: s390: Fix to clear PTE when discarding a swapped page")
