I triggered the BUG_ON(is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)) introduced by this patch,
when I simply read /proc/pid/pagemap of the process using hugetlb.
This BUG_ON looks right itself, but find_vma() can find vmas beyond
the pmd boundary, so checking the overrun is necessary.

Could you test and merge the following change?

Subject: [PATCH] pagemap: prevent pagemap_pte_range() from overrunning

When the vm_end address of the last vma just before vma(VM_HUGETLB)
is not aligned to PMD boundary, the while loop in pagemap_pte_range()
gets vma(VM_HUGETLB) and triggers BUG_ON(is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)).
This patch fixes it by checking the overrun.
