3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sasha Levin <[email protected]>

commit 08fa29d916c6e271ad13978cd993e7238c68db97 upstream.

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").
