mm/huge_memory.c: fix potential NULL pointer dereference
commit a8f531ebc33052642b4bd7b812eedf397108ce64 upstream.
In collapse_huge_page() there is a race window between releasing the
mmap_sem read lock and taking the mmap_sem write lock, so find_vma() may
return NULL. So check the return value to avoid NULL pointer dereference.

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