Subject: [PATCH] mm/madvise: fix potential pte_unmap_unlock pte error

We can't assume pte_offset_map_lock will return same orig_pte value. So
it's necessary to reacquire the orig_pte or pte_unmap_unlock will unmap
the stale pte.

Fixes: 9c276cc65a58 ("mm: introduce MADV_COLD")
Fixes: 854e9ed09ded ("mm: support madvise(MADV_FREE)")
