From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <garsilva@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/memory_hotplug.c: add NULL check to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference
NULL check at line 1226: if (!pgdat), implies that pointer pgdat
might be NULL.
rollback_node_hotadd() dereferences this pointer. Add NULL check to avoid
a potential NULL pointer dereference.
