  - powerpc/64s: Fix unmap race with PMD migration entries The following race is possible with migration swap
    entries or device-private THP entries. e.g. when move_pages is called on a PMD THP page, then there maybe
    an intermediate state, where PMD entry acts as a migration swap entry (pmd_present() is true). Then if an
    munmap happens at the same time, then this VM_BUG_ON() can happen in pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full(). This
    patch fixes that. Thread A: move_pages() syscall add_folio_for_migration() mmap_read_lock(mm)
    folio_isolate_lru(folio) mmap_read_unlock(mm) do_move_pages_to_node() migrate_pages() try_to_migrate_one()
    spin_lock(ptl) set_pmd_migration_entry() pmdp_invalidate() # PMD: _PAGE_INVALID | _PAGE_PTE | pfn
    set_pmd_at() # PMD: migration swap entry (pmd_present=0) spin_unlock(ptl) [page copy phase] # <--- RACE
    WINDOW --> Thread B: munmap() mmap_write_downgrade(mm) unmap_vmas() -> zap_pmd_range() zap_huge_pmd()
    __pmd_trans_huge_lock() pmd_is_huge(): # !pmd_present && !pmd_none -> TRUE (swap entry) pmd_lock() -> #
    spin_lock(ptl), waits for Thread A to release ptl pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full()
