From: Zlatko Calusic <zlatko.calusic@xxxxxxxx>
The unintended consequence of commit 4ae0a48b is that
wait_iff_congested() can now be called with NULL struct zone*
producing kernel oops like this:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
IP: [<ffffffff811542d9>] wait_iff_congested+0x59/0x140
This trivial patch fixes it.
