[PATCH v2 3/5] mm/hugetlb: fix races when looking up a CONT-PMD size hugetlb page

[Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com>]

On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size
hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb
(2M and 1G), but also CONT-PTE/PMD size(64K and 32M) if a 4K page size
specified.

When looking up a CONT-PMD size hugetlb page by follow_page(), it will
always use the PMD page lock to protect the pmd entry in follow_huge_pmd().
However this is not the correct lock for CONT-PMD size hugetlb, and the
pmd entry will be unstable under the incorrect lock, which means it still
can be migrated or poisoned, and can not get the correct CONT-PMD size
page.

Thus changing to use huge_pte_lock() to get the correct pmd entry lock
for CONT-PMD size hugetlb to fix the potential race.
