Aneesh Kumar K.V 6b43a9978a mm/memory.c: recheck page table entry with page table lock held ...

commit ff09d7ec97 upstream.

We clear the pte temporarily during read/modify/write update of the pte.
If we take a page fault while the pte is cleared, the application can get
SIGBUS.  One such case is with remap_pfn_range without a backing
vm_ops->fault callback.  do_fault will return SIGBUS in that case.

cpu 0		 				cpu1

ptep_modify_prot_start()/pte cleared.

Fix this by taking page table lock and rechecking for pte_none.
