find_vma may return NULL, thus check the return
value to avoid NULL pointer dereference.

v1->v2: Add description about the bug potential trigger condition.
	Thanks for the review/suggestion of Michal Hocko &
	Wanpeng Li.

In collapse_huge_page, there is a race window between release
the mmap_sem read lock and hold the mmap_sem write lock, so
find_vma() may return NULL, thus check the return value to
avoid NULL pointer dereference.

collapse_huge_page
	khugepaged_alloc_page
		up_read(&mm->mmap_sem)
	down_write(&mm->mmap_sem)
	vma = find_vma(mm, address)
