The vmf->page can be NULL when the wp_page_reuse() is invoked by
wp_pfn_shared(), it will cause the following panic:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000008
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

To fix it, this patch performs a NULL pointer check before dereferencing
the vmf->page.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
