Lance Yang 074f027d15 mm/khugepaged: guard is_zero_pfn() calls with pte_present()
A non-present entry, like a swap PTE, contains completely different data
(swap type and offset).  pte_pfn() doesn't know this, so if we feed it a
non-present entry, it will spit out a junk PFN.

What if that junk PFN happens to match the zeropage's PFN by sheer chance?
While really unlikely, this would be really bad if it did.

So, let's fix this potential bug by ensuring all calls to is_zero_pfn() in
khugepaged.c are properly guarded by a pte_present() check.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
