Subject: [PATCH] thp: use is_zero_pfn after pte_present check

Use is_zero_pfn on pteval only after pte_present check on pteval
(It might be better idea to introduce is_zero_pte where checks
pte_present first). Otherwise, it could work with swap or
migration entry and if pte_pfn's result is equal to zero_pfn
by chance, we lose user's data in __collapse_huge_page_copy.
So if you're luck, the application is segfaulted and finally you
could see below message when the application is exit.

BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88007f099300 idx:2 val:3

Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@...nel.org>

I found this bug with MADV_FREE hard test. Sometime, I saw
"Bad rss-counter" message with MM_SWAPENTS but it's really
rare, once a day if I was luck or once in five days if I was
unlucky so I am doing test still and just pass a few days but
I hope it will fix the issue.
