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

From: Liviu Dudau <liviu@xxxxxxxxxxx>
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.
