Title
tee: optee: Fix incorrect page free bug
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tee: optee: Fix incorrect page free bug Pointer to the allocated pages (struct page *page) has already progressed towards the end of allocation. It is incorrect to perform __free_pages(page, order) using this pointer as we would free any arbitrary pages. Fix this by stop modifying the page pointer.
