[PATCH 4.9 59/61] mm/vmalloc.c: dont dereference possible NULL pointer in __vunmap()

commit 6ade20327dbb808882888ed8ccded71e93067cf9 upstream.

find_vmap_area() can return a NULL pointer and we're going to
dereference it without checking it first. Use the existing
find_vm_area() function which does exactly what we want and checks for
the NULL pointer.
