commit 56df70a63ed5d989c1d36deee94cae14342be6e9 upstream.
find_mergeable_vma() can return NULL. In this case, it leads to a crash when we access vm_mm(its offset is 0x40) later in write_protect_page. And this case did happen on our server. The following call trace is captured in kernel 4.19 with the following patch applied and KSM zero page enabled on our server.
commit e86c59b1b12d ("mm/ksm: improve deduplication of zero pages with colouring")
So add a vma check to fix it.
