I haven't reproduced the crash, but the code signature (CMP against an absolute
address) is quite distinct, and is consistent across all three crashes.  I'm pretty
sure the issue is that page_is_secretmem() doesn't check for a null page->mapping,
e.g. if the page is truncated, which IIUC can happen in parallel since gup() doesn't
hold the lock.

I think this should fix the problems?
