We call get_region_id() without validating the ea value. That means
with a wrong ea value we hit the BUG as below.
kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/hash.h:129!
Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]
LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Hash SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
CPU: 0 PID: 3937 Comm: access_tests Not tainted 5.1.0

LR [c00000000000896c] data_access_slb_common+0x15c/0x1a0
Fix this by removing the VM_BUG_ON. All callers make sure the returned
region id is valid and error out otherwise.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
