Subject: [PATCH 4.1 81/86] thp: use is_zero_pfn() only after pte_present() check

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@...nel.org>

commit 47aee4d8e314384807e98b67ade07f6da476aa75 upstream.

Use is_zero_pfn() on pteval only after pte_present() check on pteval
(It might be better idea to introduce is_zero_pte() which checks
pte_present() first).

Otherwise when working on a 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 unlucky, the application
segfaults and finally you could see below message on exit:

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

Fixes: ca0984caa823 ("mm: incorporate zero pages into transparent huge pages")
