3.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Laura Abbott <lauraa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit cfa869438282be84ad4110bba5027ef1fbbe71e4 upstream.

Commit 3c605096d315 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on
isolated pageblock") changed the logic of unset_migratetype_isolate to
check the buddy allocator and explicitly call __free_pages to merge.

The page that is being freed in this path never had prep_new_page called
so set_page_refcounted is called explicitly but there is no call to
kernel_map_pages. With the default kernel_map_pages this is mostly
harmless but if kernel_map_pages does any manipulation of the page
tables (unmapping or setting pages to read only) this may trigger a
fault:

alloc_contig_range test_pages_isolated(ceb00, ced00) failed
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffc0cec00000
pgd = ffffffc045fc4000
[ffffffc0cec00000] *pgd=0000000000000000

PC is at memset+0xc8/0x1c0
LR is at kernel_map_pages+0x1ec/0x244

Fix this by calling kernel_map_pages to ensure the page is set in the
page table properly
