mm: prevent derefencing NULL ptr in pfn_section_valid()
Commit 5ec8e8ea8b77 ("mm/sparsemem: fix race in accessing
memory_section->usage") changed pfn_section_valid() to add a READ_ONCE()
call around "ms->usage" to fix a race with section_deactivate() where
ms->usage can be cleared. The READ_ONCE() call, by itself, is not enough
to prevent NULL pointer dereference. We need to check its value before
dereferencing it.
