Upstream doesn't use radix tree any more in migrate.c, no need this patch.
The two functions look up a slot and dereference the pointer, If the pointer is null, the kernel would crash and dump.
The 'numad' service calls 'migrate_pages' periodically. If some slots being replaced (Cache Eviction), the radix_tree_lookup_slot() returns a null pointer that causes kernel crash.
"numad": crash> bt [exception RIP: migrate_page_move_mapping+337]
Introduce pointer checking to avoid dereference a null pointer.
