Thanks.  Due to "mm/khugepaged: fix GUP-fast interaction by freeing
ptes via mmu_gather".

Jann, I'll just do this for now:

--- a/mm/khugepaged.c~mm-khugepaged-fix-gup-fast-interaction-by-freeing-ptes-via-mmu_gather-fix
+++ a/mm/khugepaged.c

-	page_table_check_pte_clear_range(mm, addr, pmd);
 
 	tlb_gather_mmu(&tlb, mm);
 	pmd = READ_ONCE(*pmdp);

please check.
