Subject: [2/6] mm: fix missing page table unmap for stack guard page failure case

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

commit 5528f9132cf65d4d892bcbc5684c61e7822b21e9 upstream.

.. which didn't show up in my tests because it's a no-op on x86-64 and
most other architectures.  But we enter the function with the last-level
page table mapped, and should unmap it at exit.

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
