From: Weijie Yang <[email protected]>
Subject: zram: avoid kunmap_atomic() of a NULL pointer
zram could kunmap_atomic() a NULL pointer in a rare situation: a zram page
becomes a full-zeroed page after a partial write io. The current code
doesn't handle this case and performs kunmap_atomic() on a NULL pointer,
which panics the kernel.
This patch fixes this issue.
