Avoid having "This patch" or "This commit" in the commit message. It is
tautologically useless.

Also, do

$ git grep 'This patch' Documentation/process

for more details.

Who's "we"?				during the pagetable walk

Solved how? If you can't map which error comes from which process, you
can't do anything here. You could send SIGBUS to all but you might
injure some innocent bystanders this way.

Just code structuring suggestions below - mm stuff is for someone else
to review properly.

Save yourself an indentation level:

	if (!ptl)
		goto unlock;

... ditto...

... which will allow you to not break those.
