The problem is lookup_page_ext() returns NULL then page_is_guard() tried to
access it in page freeing.
page_is_guard() depends on PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD bit of page extension
flag, but freeing page might reach here before the page_ext arrays are
allocated when feeding a range of pages to the allocator for the first
time during bootup or memory hotplug.
When it returns NULL, page_is_guard() should just return false instead of
checking PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD unconditionally.
