khugepaged has to drop mmap lock several times while collapsing a page.
The situation can change while the lock is dropped and we need to
re-validate that the VMA is still in place and the PMD is still subject
for collapse.
But we miss one corner case: while collapsing an anonymous pages the VMA
could be replaced with file VMA. If the file VMA doesn't have any
private pages we get NULL pointer dereference:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address

The fix is to make sure that the VMA is anonymous in
hugepage_vma_revalidate(). The helper is only used for collapsing
anonymous pages.
