commit3ce2c24cb6upstream. 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
