Christian Borntraeger a2fd64d6aa [S390] vmemmap: allocate struct pages before 1:1 mapping
We have seen an oops in an OOM situation, where show_mem tried to
access the struct page of a dcss segment. The vmemmap code has
already created the 1:1 mapping but failed allocating the struct
pages. In the OOM case, show_mem now walks the memory. It uses
pfn_valid to detect if it may access the struct page. In the case
described above, the mapping was established and pfn_valid returned
true. As the struct pages were not allocated, the kernel oopsed.

We have to ensure that we have created the struct pages, before we
add a mapping pointing to the pages.
