Subject: [PATCH 31/31] perf/core: Allow pte_offset_map() to fail

In rare transient cases, not yet made possible, pte_offset_map() and
pte_offet_map_lock() may not find a page table: handle appropriately.

This is a perf patch, not an mm patch, and it will want to go in through
the tip tree in due course; but keep it in this series for now, so that
it's not missed, and not submitted before mm review.
