I think I've got to the bottom of the issue - the problem is due to
huge_pte_at() returning NULL for poisoned pmd entries (which in turn is
due to pmd_present() not handling poisoned pmd entries correctly)

The following is the call chain for the failure case.

do_munmap
  unmap_region
    unmap_vmas
      unmap_single_vma
        __unmap_hugepage_range_final    # The test case uses hugepages
          __unmap_hugepage_range
            huge_pte_offset             # Returns NULL for a poisoned pmd

Reverting 5bb1cc0ff9a6 ("arm64: Ensure pmd_present() returns false after
pmd_mknotpresent()") fixes the problem for me but I don't think that is
the right fix.

While I work on a proper fix, it would be great if you can confirm that
reverting 5bb1cc0ff9a6 makes the problem go away at your end.
