There is a segmentation fault in update_page_info() when the requested page
is not loaded, handle->cpu_data[cpu].page is NULL. The problematic flow starts
from tracecmd_read_at() API, when reading offset in the first page (less than 4K),
and this page is still not loaded. The problem can be observed randomly -
there is a sporadic KernelShark crash when loading a file, browsing and
zooming events.
