mm: ksm: fix use-after-free kasan report in ksm_might_need_to_copy



When under the stress of swapping in/out with KSM enabled, there is a
low probability that kasan reports the BUG of use-after-free in
ksm_might_need_to_copy() when do swap in.  The freed object is the
anon_vma got from page_anon_vma(page).

It is because a swapcache page associated with one anon_vma now needed
for another anon_vma, but the page's original vma was unmapped and the
anon_vma was freed.  In this case the if condition below always return
false and then alloc a new page to copy.  Swapin process then use the
new page and can continue to run well, so this is harmless actually.

      } else if (anon_vma->root == vma->anon_vma->root &&
                 page->index == linear_page_index(vma, address)) {

This patch exchange the order of above two judgment statement to avoid
the kasan warning.  Let cpu run "page->index == linear_page_index(vma,
address)" firstly and return false basically to skip the read of
anon_vma->root which may trigger the kasan use-after-free warning:
