Subject: mm/hmm: fix bad subpage pointer in try_to_unmap_one

When migrating a ZONE device private page from device memory to system
memory, the subpage pointer is initialized from a swap pte which computes
an invalid page pointer. A kernel panic results such as:

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffea1fffffffc8

Initialize subpage correctly before calling page_remove_rmap().
