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

From: Jann Horn jannh@google.com
commit 373c4557d2aa362702c4c2d41288fb1e54990b7c upstream.
This matters at least for the mincore syscall, which will otherwise copy uninitialized memory from the page allocator to userspace. It is probably also a correctness error for /proc/$pid/pagemap, but I haven't tested that.
Removing the `walk->hugetlb_entry` condition in walk_hugetlb_range() has no effect because the caller already checks for that.
This only reports holes in hugetlb ranges to callers who have specified a hugetlb_entry callback.
This issue was found using an AFL-based fuzzer.
v2: - don't crash on ->pte_hole==NULL (Andrew Morton) - add Cc stable (Andrew Morton)
