[patch] ksm: check for ERR_PTR from follow_page()

[Dan Carpenter <error27@xxxxxxxxx>]

The follow_page() function can potentially return -EFAULT so I added 
checks for this.

Also I silenced an uninitialized variable warning on my version of gcc 
(version 4.3.2).

I'm not very familiar with this code, so handle with care.
