Commit 3565fce3a659 ("mm, x86: get_user_pages() for dax mappings") has
moved up the pte_page(pte) in x86's fast gup_pte_range(), for no
discernible reason: put it back where it belongs, after the pte_flags
check and the pfn_valid cross-check.

That may be the cause of the NULL pointer dereference in
gup_pte_range(), seen when vfio called vaddr_get_pfn() when starting a
qemu-kvm based VM.
