khugepaged: fix use-after-free in collapse_huge_page()
hugepage_vma_revalidate() tries to re-check if we still should try to collapse small pages into huge one after the re-acquiring mmap_sem. The problem Dmitry Vyukov reported[1] is that the vma found by hugepage_vma_revalidate() can be suitable for huge pages, but not the same vma we had before dropping mmap_sem. And dereferencing original vma can lead to fun results.. Let's use vma hugepage_vma_revalidate() found instead of assuming it's the same as what we had before the lock was dropped.
