3.2.56-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jianguo Wu <[email protected]>

commit 98398c32f6687ee1e1f3ae084effb4b75adb0747 upstream.

In __page_check_address(), if address's pud is not present,
huge_pte_offset() will return NULL, we should check the return value.
