Commit cd02cf1aceea ("mm/hotplug: fix an imbalance with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC")
fixed memory hotplug with debug_pagealloc enabled, where onlining a page
goes through page freeing, which removes the direct mapping. Some arches
don't like when the page is not mapped in the first place, so
generic_online_page() maps it first. This is somewhat wasteful, but
better than special casing page freeing fast paths.
The commit however missed that DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured doesn't mean
it's actually enabled. One has to test debug_pagealloc_enabled() since
031bc5743f15 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime
configurable"), or alternatively debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() since
8e57f8acbbd1 ("mm, debug_pagealloc: don't rely on static keys too early"),
but this is not done.
As a result, a s390 kernel with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured but not enabled
will crash:
Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space
Failing address: 0000000000000000 TEID: 0000000000000483

Fix this by checking debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() before calling
kernel_map_pages(). Backports for kernel before 5.5 should use
debug_pagealloc_enabled() instead. Also add comments.

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.
