mm/khugepaged: fix invalid page access in release_pte_pages()

Browse source

release_pte_pages() converts from a pfn to a folio by using pfn_folio(). 
If the pte is not mapped, pfn_folio() will result in undefined behavior
which ends up causing a kernel panic[1].

Only call pfn_folio() once we have validated that the pte is both valid
and mapped to fix the issue.
