ANDROID: mm: prevent reads of unstable pmd during speculation
Checks of pmd during speculative page fault handling are racy because
pmd is unprotected and might be modified or cleared. This might cause
use-after-free reads from speculative path, therefore prevent such
checks. At the beginning of speculation pmd is checked to be valid and
if it's changed before page fault is handled, the change will be detected
and page fault will be retried under mmap_lock protection.
