Fixes: commit e7f63771b60e ("ION: Sys_heap: Add cached pool to spead up cached
buffer alloc")
the commit e7f63771b60e introduced the bug which didn't test page which maybe
NULL.
and previous logic was right.
the e7f63771b60e has been merged in v4.8-rc3, only longterm 4.9.x has this bug,
and other longterm/stable version have not.
kernel panic is here when page is NULL:
