commit 113ed54ad276c352ee5ce109bdcf0df118a43bda upstream.
A kernel crash was observed when replacing free hugetlb folios:

There is a potential race between __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio() and replace_free_hugepage_folios():
CPU1 CPU2 __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio replace_free_hugepage_folios folio_test_hugetlb(folio) -- It's still hugetlb folio.
__folio_clear_hugetlb(folio) hugetlb_free_folio(folio) h = folio_hstate(folio) -- Here, h is NULL pointer
When the above race condition occurs, folio_hstate(folio) returns NULL, and subsequent access to this NULL pointer will cause the system to crash. To resolve this issue, execute folio_hstate(folio) under the protection of the hugetlb_lock lock, ensuring that folio_hstate(folio) does not return NULL.
