mm/hmm: hmm_range_fault() NULL pointer bug

Although hmm_range_fault() calls find_vma() to make sure that a vma exists
before calling walk_page_range(), hmm_vma_walk_hole() can still be called
with walk->vma == NULL if the start and end address are not contained
within the vma range.

 hmm_range_fault() /* calls find_vma() but no range check */
  walk_page_range() /* calls find_vma(), sets walk->vma = NULL */
   __walk_page_range()
    walk_pgd_range()
     walk_p4d_range()
      walk_pud_range()
       hmm_vma_walk_hole()
        hmm_vma_walk_hole_()
         hmm_vma_do_fault()
          handle_mm_fault(vma=0)
