CVE-2025-68293

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

mm/huge_memory: fix NULL pointer deference when splitting folio

Commit c010d47f107f (“mm: thp: split huge page to any lower order pages”)
introduced an early check on the folio’s order via mapping->flags before
proceeding with the split work.

This check introduced a bug: for shmem folios in the swap cache and
truncated folios, the mapping pointer can be NULL. Accessing
mapping->flags in this state leads directly to a NULL pointer dereference.

This commit fixes the issue by moving the check for mapping != NULL before
any attempt to access mapping->flags.
