The function call alloc_percpu() returns a pointer to the memory address,
but it hasn't been checked. Our static analysis tool indicates that null
pointer dereference may exist in pointer zone->per_cpu_pageset. It is
always safe to judge the null pointer before use.

Unmodified patch, likely not what you wanted to send?
