There are other places where such a fix is needed.
e.g.,

$ git grep "nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT" 
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc*
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etf.c:        head = 
handle->head & ((buf->nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT) - 1);
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:#define 
PERF_IDX2OFF(idx, buf)  ((idx) % ((buf)->nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT))
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:        if ((nr_pages << 
PAGE_SHIFT) > drvdata->size) {
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:                etr_buf 
= tmc_alloc_etr_buf(drvdata, (nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT),
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc.h:    return 
sg_table->data_pages.nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT;

Are you able to fix all of them ?
