CVE-2025-21933

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

arm: pgtable: fix NULL pointer dereference issue

When update_mmu_cache_range() is called by update_mmu_cache(), the vmf
parameter is NULL, which will cause a NULL pointer dereference issue in
adjust_pte():

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000030 when read

To fix it, do not rely on whether 'ptl' is equal to decide whether to hold
the pte lock, but decide it by whether CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS is
enabled.  In addition, if two vmas map to the same PTE page, there is no
need to hold the pte lock again, otherwise a deadlock will occur.  Just
add the need_lock parameter to let adjust_pte() know this information.
