I think this is already fixed already with Andrew's fix in mm-unstable:

diff --git a/mm/huge_memory.c b/mm/huge_memory.c
index df04c0057271..fbe02815c41a 100644
--- a/mm/huge_memory.c
+++ b/mm/huge_memory.c
@@ -73,6 +73,9 @@ bool hugepage_vma_check(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
unsigned long vm_flags,
bool smaps)
{
+ if (!vma->vm_mm)
+ return false;
+
if (!transhuge_vma_enabled(vma, vm_flags))
return false;

Which isn't included in the tree testing here. IMHO this is cleaner than messing
with an already subtle ordering.
