commit 28aa29986dde79e8466bc87569141291053833f5 upstream.
When the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl is invoked with vec_len = 0 reaches
pagemap_scan_backout_range(), kernel panics with null-ptr-deref:

vec_len = 0 in pagemap_scan_init_bounce_buffer() means no buffers are
allocated and p->vec_buf remains set to NULL.
This breaks an assumption made later in pagemap_scan_backout_range(), that
page_region is always allocated for p->vec_buf_index.
Fix it by explicitly checking p->vec_buf for NULL before dereferencing.
Other sites that might run into same deref-issue are already (directly or
transitively) protected by checking p->vec_buf.
Note:
From PAGEMAP_SCAN man page, it seems vec_len = 0 is valid when no output
is requested and it's only the side effects caller is interested in,
hence it passes check in pagemap_scan_get_args().
