mm: page_vma_mapped: ensure pmd is loaded with READ_ONCE outside of lock

Browse Source 
Loading the pmd without holding the pmd_lock exposes us to races with
concurrent updaters of the page tables but, worse still, it also allows
the compiler to cache the pmd value in a register and reuse it later on,
even if we've performed a READ_ONCE in between and seen a more recent
value.

In the case of page_vma_mapped_walk, this leads to the following crash
when the pmd loaded for the initial pmd_trans_huge check is all zeroes
and a subsequent valid table entry is loaded by check_pmd.  We then
proceed into map_pte, but the compiler re-uses the zero entry inside
pte_offset_map, resulting in a junk pointer being installed in
pvmw->pte:

  PC is at check_pte+0x20/0x170
  LR is at page_vma_mapped_walk+0x2e0/0x540
  [...]
  Process doio (pid: 2463, stack limit = 0xffff00000f2e8000)

This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that READ_ONCE is used before
the initial checks on the pmd, and this value is subsequently used when
checking whether or not the pmd is present.  pmd_check is removed and
the pmd_present check is inlined directly.
