mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: fix a race between vmemmap pmd split
commit 3ce2c24cb68f228590a053d6058a5901cd31af61 upstream.
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.
