commit e66f17ff71 upstream.
We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where
move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and
tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing. This
race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code
for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock.
This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page.
This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any
architectures or configurations.
This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and
then tail pages can be pinned/returned. So the caller must be changed to
properly handle the returned tail pages.
We could have a choice to add the similar locking to
follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because
currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it
for future development.
Here is the reproducer:

int ret;
void **addrs;
int *status;
int *nodes;

pid = strtol(argv[2], NULL, 0);
addrs = malloc(sizeof(char *) * nr_p + 1);
