Liu Shixin a0a9f2180b mm: page_isolation: avoid calling folio_hstate() without hugetlb_lock
I found a NULL pointer dereference as followed:

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028
 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
 #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

As has_unmovable_pages() call folio_hstate() without hugetlb_lock, there
is a race to free the HugeTLB page between PageHuge() and folio_hstate(). 
There is no need to add hugetlb_lock here as the HugeTLB page can be freed
in lot of places.  So it's enough to unfold folio_hstate() and add a check
to avoid NULL pointer dereference for hugepage_migration_supported().

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.
