From: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>
Introduce "pud_t pud" in the function, so the code won't dereference *pudp multiple time. Not only because that looks less straightforward, but also because if the dereference really happened, it's not clear whether there can be race to see different *pudp values if it's being modified at the same time.
