Your patch isn't correct, or at least, it is very misleading. It calls page_address() in a situation where it cannot be certain that the page frame lies in accessible kernel memory. On some systems the value it calculates will be garbage. At a minimum you need to add a comment explaining that if the page isn't accessible, the transfer_buffer value won't ever be used.
