mm: fix NULL ptr deref when walking hugepages
A missing validation of the value returned by find_vma() could cause a NULL ptr dereference when walking the pagetable. This is triggerable from usermode by a simple user by trying to read a page info out of /proc/pid/pagemap which doesn't exist. Introduced by commit 025c5b2451e4 ("thp: optimize away unnecessary page table locking").
