[PATCH] mm/ksm: return NULL when doesn't get mergeable page

[Jianguo Wu <wujianguo@huawei.com>]

In get_mergeable_page() local variable page is not initialized,
it may hold a garbage value, when find_mergeable_vma() return NULL,
get_mergeable_page() may return a garbage value to the caller.

So initialize page as NULL.
