Avoid this race by adding a huge_fault callback to drm_gem_shmem_vm_ops so that
PMD-sized mappings are handled through the appropriate huge page fault path.
This patch will conflict heavily with the folio-tracking patches that
has been merged into upstream DRM. How do we deal with that?
We need a fix in drm-misc-fixes since it's a bug that exists in v7.0,
and a conflict resolution recorded in drm-tip to deal with the
drm-misc-fixes vs drm-misc-next conflicts (I don't remember the exact
process, but it's documented in dim).

I can easily do that when I merge the fix into drm-misc-fixes.  I'd only need the fixed and tested patch that applies to the current drm-misc-next beforehand.

Best regards
Thomas
