Ge Yang 113ed54ad2 mm/hugetlb: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when replacing free hugetlb folios
A kernel crash was observed when replacing free hugetlb folios:

There is a potential race between __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio() and
replace_free_hugepage_folios():

CPU1                              CPU2
__update_and_free_hugetlb_folio   replace_free_hugepage_folios
                                    folio_test_hugetlb(folio)
                                    -- It's still hugetlb folio.

  __folio_clear_hugetlb(folio)
  hugetlb_free_folio(folio)
                                    h = folio_hstate(folio)
                                    -- Here, h is NULL pointer

When the above race condition occurs, folio_hstate(folio) returns NULL,
and subsequent access to this NULL pointer will cause the system to crash.
To resolve this issue, execute folio_hstate(folio) under the protection
of the hugetlb_lock lock, ensuring that folio_hstate(folio) does not
return NULL.

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.
