mm: hugetlb: call huge_pte_alloc() only if ptep is null Currently at the beginning of hugetlb_fault(), we call huge_pte_offset() and check whether the obtained *ptep is a migration/hwpoison entry or not. And if not, then we get to call huge_pte_alloc(). This is racy because the *ptep could turn into migration/hwpoison entry after the huge_pte_offset() check. This race results in BUG_ON in huge_pte_alloc(). We don't have to call huge_pte_alloc() when the huge_pte_offset() returns non-NULL, so let's fix this bug with moving the code into else block. Note that the *ptep could turn into a migration/hwpoison entry after this block, but that's not a problem because we have another !pte_present check later (we never go into hugetlb_no_page() in that case.)
