Good catch!

I tested that with 4.9 and backporting the patch indeed fixes the
syzcaller test case running in a KVM VM. Backported patch appended.

Should probably go into 4.4 and 4.9.

Cannot explain the 4.17 report unfortunately.

I'll resend it as an email too

x86/mm: Simplify p[g4um]d_page() macros

Create a pgd_pfn() macro similar to the p[4um]d_pfn() macros and then
use the p[g4um]d_pfn() macros in the p[g4um]d_page() macros instead of
duplicating the code.

[Needed to fix crashes caused by earlier backports in 4.9 stable, likely 4.4 too]
