Subject: [PATCH] mm: ksm: fix use-after-free kasan report in ksm_might_need_to_copy

When under the stress of swapping in/out with KSM enabled, there is
a low probability that kasan reports the BUG of use-after-free in
ksm_might_need_to_copy() when do swap in. The freed object is the
anon_vma got from page_anon_vma(page).
It is because a swapcache page associated with one anon_vma now needed
for another anon_vma, but the page's original vma was unmapped and
the anon_vma was freed. In this case the if condition below always
return false and then alloc a new page to copy. Swapin process then
use the new page and can continue to run well, so this is harmless
actually.

} else if (anon_vma->root == vma->anon_vma->root &&
                 page->index == linear_page_index(vma, address)) {

This patch exchange the order of above two judgment statement to avoid
the kasan warning. Let cpu run "page->index ==
linear_page_index(vma, address)" firstly and return false basically to
skip the read of anon_vma->root which may trigger the kasan
use-after-free warning.
