[PATCH v2] thp: use is_zero_pfn only after pte_present check
From: Minchan Kim
Date: Mon Oct 12 2015 - 22:50:56 EST
Use is_zero_pfn on pteval only after pte_present check on pteval
(It might be better idea to introduce is_zero_pte where checks
pte_present first). Otherwise, it could work with swap or
migration entry and if pte_pfn's result is equal to zero_pfn
by chance, we lose user's data in __collapse_huge_page_copy.
So if you're luck, the application is segfaulted and finally you
could see below message when the application is exit.

Hello Greg,
This patch should go to -stable but when you will apply it
after merging of linus tree, it will be surely conflicted due
to userfaultfd part.
I want to know how to handle it.
Thanks.
