KVM: arm/arm64: Handle possible NULL stage2 pud when ageing pages
Under memory pressure, we start ageing pages, which amounts to parsing the page tables. Since we don't want to allocate any extra level, we pass NULL for our private allocation cache. Which means that stage2_get_pud() is allowed to fail. This results in the following splat: [ 1520.409577] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008 [ 1520.417741] pgd = ffff810f52fef000 [ 1520.421201] [00000008] *pgd=0000010f636c5003, *pud=0000010f56f48003, *pmd=0000000000000000 [ 1520.429546] Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 1520.435156] Modules linked in: [ 1520.438246] CPU: 15 PID: 53550 Comm: qemu-system-aar Tainted: G W 4.12.0-rc4-00027-g1885c397eaec #7205 [ 1520.448705] Hardware name: FOXCONN R2-1221R-A4/C2U4N_MB, BIOS G31FB12A 10/26/2016 [ 1520.463726] task: ffff800ac5fb4e00 task.stack: ffff800ce04e0000 [ 1520.469666] PC is at stage2_get_pmd+0x34/0x110 [ 1520.474119] LR is at kvm_age_hva_...
