Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86/mm/KASLR: Fix two code bugs

The fixes for these two bugs were carried in the earlier patchset, patch
4/6 and patch 5/6:

[PATCH v4 0/6] Several patches to fix code bugs, improve documents and clean up
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190314094645.4883-1-bhe@redhat.com

Later, Thomas suggested posting bug fixing patches separately from those
clean up patches. So send both of them in a separate patchset. 

For another bug fix patch 6/6, it happened on SGI UV system. We need a
specific SGI UV machine to reproduce and verify it, still discussing
with Mike and Frank from HPE SGI about arranging a machine to test. That
machine is very rare, still waiting. So defer that bug fix reposting
later.
