The last commit changed the behaviour on kernel faults when we were doing something other than syncing the page tables. vmalloc_sync_one() needs to return NULL if the page tables are up to date, because the reason for the fault was not a missing/inconsitent page table entry. By returning NULL if the page tables are sync'd we signal to the calling function that further work must be done to resolve this fault. Also, remove the superfluous __va() around the first argument to vmalloc_sync_one(). The value of pgd_k is already a virtual address and using it wth __va() causes a NULL dereference.
