When calling zap_vma_ptes() on VM_PFNMAP VMAs involving huge mappings,
pmd_page() will return an invalid page, causing trouble. Use instead
vm_normal_page_pmd() and test for returned page like zap_pte_range().

Do we have such VMAs?

I have such VMAs in the remote mapping feature.
Any reason why these VMAs are dangerous?
