Description of problem:

There is a potential race between __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio() and
replace_free_hugepage_folios():

CPU1                              CPU2
__update_and_free_hugetlb_folio   replace_free_hugepage_folios
                                    folio_test_hugetlb(folio)
                                    -- It's still hugetlb folio.

  __folio_clear_hugetlb(folio)
  hugetlb_free_folio(folio)
                                    h = folio_hstate(folio)
                                    -- Here, h is NULL pointer

When the above race condition occurs, folio_hstate(folio) returns NULL,
and subsequent access to this NULL pointer will cause the system to crash.
To resolve this issue, execute folio_hstate(folio) under the protection
of the hugetlb_lock lock, ensuring that folio_hstate(folio) does not
return NULL.
