Subject: [PATCH 4.9 36/72] thp, mm: fix crash due race in MADV_FREE handling

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

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

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>

commit bbf29ffc7f963bb894f84f0580c70cfea01c3892 upstream.

Reinette reported the following crash:

If somebody frees the page under us and we hold the last reference to
it, put_page() would attempt to free the page before unlocking it.

The fix is trivial reorder of operations.
