Mark Rutland 66434c6037 arm64: hugetlb: avoid potential NULL dereference 
commit 027d0c7101 upstream.

The static analyzer in GCC 10 spotted that in huge_pte_alloc() we may
pass a NULL pmdp into pte_alloc_map() when pmd_alloc() returns NULL:

|   CC      arch/arm64/mm/pageattr.o
|   CC      arch/arm64/mm/hugetlbpage.o
|                  from arch/arm64/mm/hugetlbpage.c:10:
| arch/arm64/mm/hugetlbpage.c: In function ‘huge_pte_alloc’:
| ./arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable-types.h:28:24: warning: dereference of NULL ‘pmdp’ [CWE-690] [-Wanalyzer-null-dereference]
| ./arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable.h:436:26: note: in expansion of macro ‘pmd_val’
| arch/arm64/mm/hugetlbpage.c:242:10: note: in expansion of macro ‘pte_alloc_map’
|     |arch/arm64/mm/hugetlbpage.c:232:10:
|     |./arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable-types.h:28:24:
| ./arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable.h:436:26: note: in expansion of macro ‘pmd_val’
| arch/arm64/mm/hugetlbpage.c:242:10: note: in expansion of macro ‘pte_alloc_map’

This can only occur when the kernel cannot allocate a page, and so is
unlikely to happen in practice before other systems start failing.

We can avoid this by bailing out if pmd_alloc() fails, as we do earlier
in the function if pud_alloc() fails.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
