[PATCH v2 1/2] x86/pti: check the return value of pti_user_pagetable_walk_p4d

[Jiang Biao]

pti_user_pagetable_walk_p4d() may return NULL, we should check the
return value to avoid NULL pointer dereference. And add warning
for fail allocation where NULL returned.

[PATCH v2 2/2] x86/pti: check the return value of pti_user_pagetable_walk_pmd

[Jiang Biao]

Check the return value of pti_user_pagetable_walk_pmd() to avoid
NULL pointer dereference. And add warning for fail allocation.

For both of these:

It's minor, but if you redo these, I'd appreciate a slightly different
form.  Instead of:

I'd much rather see separation of code -- especially _important_ code
like an allocation -- from local variable definitions.  Like this:

	gfp_t gfp = (GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOTRACK | __GFP_ZERO);
	pmd_t *pmd;
  	pte_t *pte;

	pmd = pti_user_pagetable_walk_pmd(address);
	if (!pmd)
		return NULL;

That clearly separtes the variables from the _code_ and also nicely
pairs the action with the check for that action being successful.
