Subject: [PATCH 7/7] mm: numa: Add paranoid check around pte_protnone_numa

pte_protnone_numa is only safe to use after VMA checks for PROT_NONE are
complete. Treating a real PROT_NONE PTE as a NUMA hinting fault is going
to result in strangeness so add a check for it. BUG_ON looks like overkill
but if this is hit then it's a serious bug that could result in corruption
so do not even try recovering. It would have been more comprehensive to
check VMA flags in pte_protnone_numa but it would have made the API ugly
just for a debugging check.
