Series mm: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail |

Commit Message

  walk_pte_range() has a no_vma option to serve walk_page_range_novma().
I don't know of any problem, but it looks safer to check for init_mm,
and use pte_offset_kernel() rather than pte_offset_map() in that case:
pte_offset_map()'s pmdval validation is intended for userspace.

Allow for its pte_offset_map() or pte_offset_map_lock() to fail, and
retry with ACTION_AGAIN if so.  Add a second check for ACTION_AGAIN
in walk_pmd_range(), to catch it after return from walk_pte_range().

Remove the pmd_trans_unstable() check after split_huge_pmd() in
walk_pmd_range(): walk_pte_range() now handles those cases safely
(and they must fail powerpc's is_hugepd() check).
