[PATCH v2 1/2] secretmem/gup: don't check if page is secretmem without reference

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt at linux.ibm.com>

The check in gup_pte_range() whether a page belongs to a secretmem mapping
is performed before grabbing the page reference.

To avoid potential race move the check after try_grab_compound_head().
