[PATCH v2 0/5] Fix some issues when looking up hugetlb page

[Baolin Wang]

Hi,

On ARM64 architecture, it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb. When
looking up hugetlb page by follow_page(), we will hold the incorrect
pte/pmd lock for the CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page, which will make
the pte/pmd entry unstable even under the lock and cause some potential
race issues. So considering the CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb, this patch set
changes to use the correct function to get the correct pte/pmd entry lock
to make the pte/pmd entry stable.

Changes from v1:
 - Introduce a new helper to handle the CONT-PTE page.
 - Use finer grained locks for CONT-PTE/PMD entries.
 - Update some commit message.
