When update_mmu_cache_range() is called by update_mmu_cache(), the vmf parameter is NULL, which will cause a NULL pointer dereference issue in adjust_pte():

To fix it, do not rely on whether 'ptl' is equal to decide whether to hold the pte lock, but decide it by whether CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS is enabled. In addition, if two vmas map to the same PTE page, there is no need to hold the pte lock again, otherwise a deadlock will occur. Just add the need_lock parameter to let adjust_pte() know this information.
