Summary
highmem: fix checks in __kmap_local_sched_{in,out}
Details

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

highmem: fix checks in _kmap_local_sched{in,out}

When CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL is enabled _kmap_local_sched{in,out} check that even slots in the tsk->kmap_ctrl.pteval are unmapped. The slots are initialized with 0 value, but the check is done with pte_none. 0 pte however does not necessarily mean that pte_none will return true. e.g. on xtensa it returns false, resulting in the following runtime warnings:

Fix it by replacing !pte_none(pteval) with pte_val(pteval) != 0.
