[PATCH v2 3/3] mm/huge_memory: skip device-private PMDs in madvise_free_huge_pmd

[Usama Arif]

madvise_free_pte_range() checks pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) unlocked, then
madvise_free_huge_pmd() takes pmd_trans_huge_lock(). pmd_is_huge()
returns true for a device-private PMD, so orig_pmd can be device-private
and enter the !pmd_present() branch.

Allow device-private PMDs in that non-present assertion and continue to
out before calling pmd_folio(). This keeps the assertion for unexpected
PMD softleafs while skipping device-private PMDs like other non-present
PMDs in this path.

Potential trigger: an HMM-based GPU driver races with madvise(MADV_FREE):
migrate_vma_pages() flips the PMD to a device-private entry between the
caller's pmd_trans_huge() check and the callee's pmd_trans_huge_lock().

Fixes: 368076f52ebe ("mm/huge_memory: add device-private THP support to PMD operations")
