For PMD-mapped page (usually THP), pvmw->pte is NULL. For PTE-mapped THP,
pvmw->pte is mapped. But for HugeTLB pages, pvmw->pte is not mapped and set
to the relevant page table entry. So in page_vma_mapped_walk_done(), we may
do pte_unmap() for HugeTLB pte which is not mapped. Fix this by checking
pvmw->page against PageHuge before trying to do pte_unmap().

What are the runtime consequences of this?  Is there a workload which
is known to trigger it?

IOW, how do we justify a -stable backport of this fix?

Not yet. This should not be backported. My bad. Sorry about it.
