Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix __dump_page() for poisoned pages

Evaluating page_mapping() on a poisoned page ends up dereferencing junk
and making PF_POISONED_CHECK() considerably crashier than intended. Fix
that by not inspecting the mapping until we've determined that it's
likely to be valid.

Fixes: 1c6fb1d89e73 ("mm: print more information about mapping in __dump_page")
