Subject: [PATCH v2 28/32 fix] mm/memory: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to
 fail: fix

__wp_page_copy_user() was liable to call update_mmu_tlb() with NULL
vmf->pte in two places: not a problem today, but could become a problem
later when pte_offset_map_lock() fails.

Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@...gle.com>

Andrew, please add this as a fix patch for later merge into my
"mm/memory: allow" patch in mm-unstable: it's something noticed while
researching the bug Nathan reported, but not so serious - thanks.
