From: Liviu Dudau <liviu@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6ade20327dbb808882888ed8ccded71e93067cf9 upstream. find_vmap_area() can return a NULL pointer and we're going to dereference it without checking it first. Use the existing find_vm_area() function which does exactly what we want and checks for the NULL pointer.
