The preorder callback on the kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() path can replace
a table with a block, then recursively free the detached table. The
higher-level walking logic stashes the old page table entry and
then walks the freed table, invoking the leaf callback and
potentially freeing pgtable pages prematurely.
In normal operation, the call to tear down the detached stage-2
is indirected and uses an RCU callback to trigger the freeing.
RCU is not available to pKVM, which is where this bug is
triggered.
Change the behavior of the walker to reload the page table entry
after invoking the walker callback on preorder traversal, as it
does for leaf entries.
Tested on Pixel 6.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
