3.5.7.29 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jianguo Wu <wujianguo@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 98398c32f6687ee1e1f3ae084effb4b75adb0747 upstream.
In __page_check_address(), if address's pud is not present,
huge_pte_offset() will return NULL, we should check the return value.
