[PATCH v3] Fixes: null pointer dereference in pfnmap_lockdep_assert

[Manas via B4 Relay]

From: Manas <manas18244@xxxxxxxxxxx>

syzbot has pointed to a possible null pointer dereference in
pfnmap_lockdep_assert. vm_file member of vm_area_struct is being
dereferenced without any checks.

This fix assigns mapping only if vm_file is not NULL.

This bug[1] triggers a general protection fault in follow_pfnmap_start
function. An assertion pfnmap_lockdep_assert inside this function
dereferences vm_file member of vm_area_struct. And panic gets triggered
when vm_file is NULL.

This patch assigns mapping only if vm_file is not NULL.
