Based on the call stack I have tried to fix the issue. The problem is
there was some uninitialized pointer access (in some special cases
i.e. TBM_EMPTY when pagetable is not created at all).

 fix_tbm_empty.patch have fixed some of them but induced one which you
are seeing in your call stack.

Hopefully, this time I got it correct.  Since I am unable to reproduce
the issue so I will again need your help in verifying the fix.
